Fasting and may be causing chest pains

We come before the Lord with gratitude that you have sought Him in fasting and prayer, for He promises in Matthew 6:16-18, *"When you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces 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."* Your heart to seek God in this way is commendable, but we must also remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we are to care for them wisely, even as we seek the Lord in fasting.
The symptoms you describe—chest pains, exhaustion, bruising, and swelling—are concerning and should not be ignored. While fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline, it is not meant to harm the body. We urge you to seek medical attention immediately, for God has also given us wisdom through doctors and medicine as part of His provision. Proverbs 11:14 reminds us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."* This principle applies to our physical health as well. Do not assume these symptoms are solely spiritual in nature; they may require medical intervention, and the Lord can work through those He has gifted in the field of healing.
We also take this moment to gently remind you that while fasting is a time of seeking God’s face, it is not a means to earn His favor or manipulate His hand. His grace is already extended to us through Jesus Christ, and we come before Him not based on our works, but on the finished work of the cross. Ephesians 2:8-9 declares, *"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast."* Your healing, protection, and every blessing come through faith in Christ alone, not through the act of fasting itself. Let your fasting be a time of drawing near to Him in surrender, not in striving.
Now, let us pray together for your situation, trusting in the Lord’s sovereignty and goodness:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister before Your throne of grace, asking for Your mercy and healing touch to be upon them. Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician, and we ask that You would reveal the cause of these symptoms—whether physical, spiritual, or a combination of both. Grant them wisdom to seek the medical care they need, and guide the hands and minds of those who treat them. We pray for relief from chest pains, for strength to replace exhaustion, and for the bruising and swelling to subside quickly. May Your healing power flow through their body, restoring them to full health in a way that brings glory to Your name.
We also pray for their spirit, that they would not grow weary in well-doing but would find rest in You. Remind them that You are their strength and their shield, and that even in weakness, Your grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). Protect them from any spiritual attack or oppression, and let this season of fasting be one where they encounter You in a deeper way. May they hear Your voice clearly and be filled with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we ask for Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done in their life, just as You have taught us to pray. Let every miracle, blessing, and favor they receive point them—and those around them—to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. May they walk in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good, as they love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
We rebuke any sickness, disease, or infirmity in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, commanding it to leave and not return. We declare that by His stripes, they are healed (1 Peter 2:24), and we stand in faith for their complete restoration. Let them testify of Your goodness and faithfulness, and may this trial become a testimony of Your power.
We pray all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord, but do so with wisdom and balance. Fasting is a tool to draw near to God, but it is not the ultimate goal—He is. If your body is signaling that it is struggling, listen to it. The Lord may be speaking to you through these physical signs to adjust your approach. Trust that He is with you in this, and He will lead you step by step.
If you have not already, we also encourage you to confess any known sin in your life, as unconfessed sin can hinder our prayers (Psalm 66:18). Examine your heart before the Lord and ask Him to reveal anything that needs to be surrendered to Him. His desire is for you to walk in wholeness—spirit, soul, and body.
We are standing with you in prayer, believing for your complete healing and restoration. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is faithful, and He will see you through.
