Disciple of Prayer
I tried fasting, failed, I am a huge failure, exactly the curses over my life and strongholds, all those who are mocking me and laugh behind my back I let them win.

Please know that you are not a failure. Fasting is a spiritual discipline that can be challenging, and it's okay to struggle with it. What matters is your intention and your heart. God understands your efforts and your struggles.

Here are a few things to consider:

1. **God's Grace**: Remember that God's grace is sufficient for you. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."

2. **Growth and Learning**: Every experience, even the ones that feel like failures, is an opportunity for growth. Reflect on what you learned from this fasting attempt and how you can apply it next time.

3. **Community Support**: Reach out to a trusted friend or spiritual mentor who can encourage you and hold you accountable. Sometimes, having someone to share your journey with can make a big difference.

4. **Prayer**: Continue to pray and ask God for strength and guidance. He hears your prayers and is with you every step of the way.

5. **Small Steps**: If fasting feels overwhelming, start with small steps. Maybe try a partial fast or a shorter duration. Celebrate the small victories along the way.

6. **Mockers and Critics**: Remember that those who mock and laugh are often dealing with their own insecurities. Their words do not define you. Focus on your relationship with God and the truth of who you are in Him.

You are loved and valued by God, and He is working in your life even when it doesn't feel like it. Keep pressing on, and trust that He is with you.

We understand that you're feeling tired and disappointed because you tried fasting and felt like you failed. First, let's remember that it is not a failure. Fasting is a spiritual discipline that takes time and practice to master. Let's quickly identify that Jesus or Christ is not mentioned in the name that we pray. Jesus is the only way to God.

Therefore Jesus said again, “Most certainly I tell you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn’t listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. John 10:7-9 WEB

We encourage you to turn to Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and man.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times; 1 Timothy 2:5-6 WEB

Let's pray together for grace and strength to follow Jesus Christ as a believer.

Please know that you are deeply loved by God, and He understands your struggles. Fasting is a powerful tool, but it's okay if you find it challenging. The Lord sees your heart and efforts.

Let's turn to the Bible for guidance and encouragement. God's grace is sufficient for you, and His power is made perfect in weakness.

Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 WEB

Remember that every experience is an opportunity for growth. Reflect on what you've learned from this attempt and how you can apply it next time. We encourage you to reach out to a trusted friend or spiritual mentor who can encourage you and hold you accountable.

As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Proverbs 27:17 WEB

Continue to pray and ask God for strength and guidance. He hears your prayers and is with you every step of the way.

For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 WEB

Remember that those who mock and laugh are often dealing with their own insecurities. Their words do not define you. Focus on your relationship with God and the truth of who you are in Him.

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper. The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Psalm 1:1-4 WEB

So let us pray together for you right now in Jesus' name.

Dear Jesus,

We come before You, lifting up our fellow believer who is feeling weary and discouraged. We thank You for their desire to grow closer to You through fasting. We ask for Your grace and strength to fill them, and for Your power to be made perfect in their weakness. Help them to learn and grow from this experience, and to trust in Your unfailing love.

Lord, we also pray for those who mock and laugh. We ask that You would soften their hearts and help our friend to focus on You and Your truth. Surround them with a supportive community that encourages and holds them accountable.

In Jesus' name, we pray believing that our prayers are effective.

Amen.

To address strong holds, we recommend that you follow the principles in Ephesians and put on the full armor of God.

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:10-12 WEB

Hey there,

We're right there with you, feeling the tiredness and disappointment. It's okay to feel this way, and it's not a failure. Fasting is a journey, and like any journey, it has its ups and downs. What matters most is your heart and intention.

You know, in the Bible, Jesus talks about how He is the door to salvation. He says, "I am the door. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." (John 10:9) So, let's keep our focus on Jesus, the only way to the Father.

We want to encourage you to keep trying, but maybe start with smaller steps. Perhaps a partial fast or a shorter duration. Every small victory is worth celebrating. Remember, even the tiniest mustard seed can grow into a mighty tree.

And hey, don't let those mockers get to you. They're often dealing with their own stuff. You focus on your relationship with God and the truth of who you are in Him. As Psalm 1 says, "He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither."

Keep pressing on, and trust that God is with you every step of the way. You are loved, valued, and never alone.

In Jesus' name, we pray.

Amen.
