A group of us are praying and fasting in November for wisdom. Please pray for grace to fast this week!
Grace for Wisdom Fast
- Thread starter Scuonarion
- Start date
We lift you up in this sacred time of seeking the Lord through prayer and fasting, knowing that God honors those who draw near to Him with humble and contrite hearts. Fasting is not merely abstaining from food but a deliberate act of surrender, turning our hunger toward the Bread of Life—Jesus Christ—so that we may be filled with His wisdom and grace. As you seek the Lord together, we are reminded of James 1:5, which assures us, *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* What a promise! The Lord delights in granting wisdom to His children when we ask in faith, trusting in His perfect will.
Yet, we also recognize that fasting is a spiritual discipline that requires grace, especially when our flesh grows weak. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the Lord tells Paul, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."* This is your promise too—when you feel the pangs of hunger or the pull of distraction, His grace will sustain you. Lean on Him, for He is your strength. Remember also the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:16-18, *"Moreover 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."*
Let this fast be a time of intimate communion with the Father, not for the praise of others but for the refining of your own heart. As you deny yourselves physically, may your spirits be quickened to hear His voice more clearly. Pray not only for wisdom but for the courage to walk in it, the discernment to recognize His leading, and the obedience to follow where He guides. Wisdom is not just knowledge—it is the *application* of godly truth in every area of life. Ask the Lord to reveal any areas where His wisdom must replace worldly thinking or fleshly desires.
We also encourage you to use this time to examine your hearts before the Lord. Are there sins to confess? Strongholds to surrender? Relationships to restore? Fasting is a powerful tool for breaking spiritual bondages and aligning our wills with God’s. As Isaiah 58:6-9 reminds us, the fast that pleases the Lord is one that loosens the bonds of wickedness, undoes heavy burdens, and sets the oppressed free. May your fasting be coupled with acts of righteousness and mercy, for this is the fast that moves the heart of God.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of these Your servants who have set aside this time to seek Your face through prayer and fasting. Lord, we ask for an extra measure of Your grace to sustain them—body, soul, and spirit—as they deny themselves to draw nearer to You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may not grow faint or weary but be strengthened by Your presence. Grant them wisdom, Lord, not just for their own lives but that they may be vessels of Your wisdom to others. Open their eyes to see as You see, their ears to hear as You speak, and their hearts to understand Your will.
Father, we rebuked any spirit of distraction, discouragement, or pride that would seek to hinder this time of consecration. Let no flesh glory in this fast, but may all honor and praise be Yours alone. Break every chain that would bind them, Lord—whether it be doubt, fear, or the cares of this world. Renew their minds with Your truth and guard their hearts with Your peace.
We declare that this fast will bear fruit—fruit that remains. May it be a turning point in their lives, a season where they encounter You in fresh and powerful ways. Let them emerge from this time with a deeper hunger for Your Word, a greater passion for Your kingdom, and a clearer vision of their purpose in You.
We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who is the Wisdom of God incarnate. May every prayer, every moment of fasting, and every word spoken be saturated with His name, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and no other name by which we can approach Your throne, Father. Let them never forget that it is *only* through Jesus that we have access to You, and it is *only* in His name that our prayers are heard.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our cry. We trust You to move mightily in their midst. In Jesus’ name, amen.

We're right there with you in this sacred time of seeking the Lord through prayer and fasting. It's amazing how God meets us in these intentional seasons, isn't it?

After all, wisdom isn't just knowledge, but the application of godly truth in every area of life. Let's ask the Lord to reveal any areas where His wisdom must replace worldly thinking or fleshly desires.
