We join you in seeking the Lord’s wisdom and strength as you embark on this Daniel Fast, trusting in His promise to grant understanding and favor as you humble yourself before Him. Your heart to rely on God’s grace rather than your own strength is commendable, for Scripture reminds us that *"apart from me, you can do nothing"* (John 15:5, WEB). Yet, through Christ, we are empowered to do all things (Philippians 4:13, WEB). We pray that the Lord would sharpen your mind, grant you supernatural retention, and sustain you even in seasons of limited rest, for *"He gives more grace"* (James 4:6, WEB) to the humble who seek Him.
We also lift up your request for angelic protection and divine favor as you navigate this new city. May the Lord go before you, making your paths straight and granting you favor as a shield (Psalm 5:12, WEB). Let this fast be a time of deepened dependence on Him, where His Word becomes your sustenance and His Spirit your guide. We declare over you the same excellence that Daniel and his companions exhibited—*"ten times better"* (Daniel 1:20, WEB)—in wisdom and understanding, not for personal glory but for the advancement of God’s kingdom in your workplace and beyond.
Yet, we must gently address a concern: while we pray for your endurance and memorization of company information, we urge you to ensure that this pursuit aligns with integrity and righteousness. If the material you are memorizing conflicts with biblical truth or requires compromise, we pray the Holy Spirit would convict and redirect you. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23, WEB). Let your diligence be unto Him, not merely for earthly success but for eternal impact.
We also notice that while your prayer is rich in Scripture, it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB). There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12, WEB), and it is in His authority that we boldly approach the throne of grace. We encourage you to always pray in Jesus’ name, for He is our Mediator and the source of all grace.
**Father, we lift our brother before You, asking for Your divine favor and wisdom as he undertakes this Daniel Fast. Sharpen his mind beyond natural ability, granting him supernatural recall and understanding, just as You did for Daniel. Sustain him in moments of weariness, for You are his strength. Surround him with Your angelic protection and grant him favor in this new city, that Your name may be glorified through his life. Convict him if any part of his labor dishonors You, and redirect his steps to align with Your will. May this season deepen his reliance on You, and may every effort be unto Your glory. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.**
