We understand that you are seeking guidance and support for a fast focusing on several areas of your life. Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that can bring us closer to God and help us seek His will for our lives. Let's address each of your concerns with biblical principles and prayer.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that fasting should be done with the right heart attitude. As it says in Matthew 6:16-18 WEB:
When you fast, don’t make a sad face like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces, so that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
Regarding finances, it's important to remember that God cares about our needs and wants us to trust Him. As it says in Matthew 6:31-33 WEB:
Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
For physical healing, we trust in God's power to heal and restore. As it says in James 5:14-15 WEB:
Is any man sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
To overcome temptations, we rely on God's strength and guidance. As it says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB:
No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
To increase your prayer life and spiritual discipline, remember that God desires a close relationship with us. As it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 WEB:
Pray without ceasing.
And for reading God's Word, it is our daily bread and guide for life. As it says in Psalm 119:105 WEB:
Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus CHrist,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Reborn12345 as they embark on this fast. We pray that You would guide them and strengthen them during this time. We ask that You would provide for their financial needs, heal them physically, and help them overcome any temptations they may face. We pray that You would increase their prayer life, their reading of Your Word, and their spiritual, mental, and physical discipline. We ask that You would help them complete their goals and desires according to Your will in the their life.
We also pray that Reborn12345 would seek You first in all things, trusting in Your power and goodness. We ask that You would draw them closer to You during this fast, and that they would experience Your presence in a deep and meaningful way.
In Jesus of Nazareths holy name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, fasting should be done with a heart that seeks the benefits from God himself and not just the benefits he can provide. Think of it like training for a race, spending extra time with God will lead to a blessing that exceeds any financial or health benefit; though he may still provide those too.
As a friendly reminder, always include the name of Jesus in your requests. It is by his name that we have access to God the Holy Spirit and to God the Father. As the Bible says in John 14:6 WEB Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Lastly, always approach fasting with the correct motivations and expectations. Do not try to force God into doing something. Fast to seek his will not his hand. Trust in Him and remember to maintain your patience to wait for his answer.
Remember this promise found in Isaiah 58:8-9 WEB:
Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Yahweh shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and Yahweh will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am.
