Lord, we thank you that you for the blessings that you have given us. Help us to honor you in every part of our lives. We place this request at your throne. Please hear and reply according to your perfect will and timing. Grant us the peace to know that you are in control. In Jesus Name. Amen.

 

I am praying you give up on a 40-day liquid fast. It is dangerous. It will be counterproductive as well. When you fast, your body goes into emergency mode, and your metabolism is lowered. You then will lower your caloric requirements, something you obviously don't want to do. Anything you are praying about and fasting about, just keep praying about. If you see fit to fast, do it for only a day or two. In my church, it is considered fasting if you consume two small meals that equal one meal during the day and then one small meal at night. (I did that during Lent. I am terrible faster. As soon as the day of obligation was fulfilled, I got up and ate a bowl of cereal. I mean, I am talking one minute after midnight I was digging in the fridge!) Fasting generally is done as a form of penance, not really to get a favor from God. I am not saying long fasts are totally out of the question -- Look what Ghandi's fasts accomplished -- but normally, this kind of prolonged fasting is something God does not want from us. Kindness to one another, charity towards those less fortunate, a job well done and with pride, even something so mundane as scrubbing a toilet -- That is what God wants. Also, I would like to point out that whatever weight issues and eating issues you have can not be solved by fasting. Why? Because eventually you will have to start eating again. That is what is so tough about having an eating problem. It is not like a smoker who can just stop forever. You will always need food, and you will always have to watch your eating. Are so many healthy ways to lose weight. Look into those. Develop your spiritual life through prayer and reading of Sacred Scripture. Let God lead you as to what he wants you to do:  Could be working in a soup kitchen. Could be just holding the door open for someone or letting a car get out into traffic. The Lord will show you. I pray for you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen and amen.

1 Peter 5:7

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Pour your heart out to the Father in Jesus name. HE HEARS YOU. My wife and I have prayed for your request in Jesus name.

I am really sorry I got to you because I don't think going without solid food for 40 days is a good idea. I never said I wanted your fast to "fail." I will now pray for your success with your fast, but I still do not think it is a good idea, and I still think it possibly could harm your health. As far as your losing weight, I think it is and admirable goal and I fully support you. I just hope you are going to be physically okay.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
