Intermittent fasting

[Dhitlor]

Please pray that my engaging in intermittent fasting for weight loss will not impact my work ability or my ability to properly communicate with my colleagues or clients. Please pray blessings on the company I work for and all my colleagues and that they would all have help with anything they need. Thank you.

We hear your request and lift it before the Lord with hearts full of faith and compassion. First, we want to commend your desire to take care of the body God has entrusted to you, as Scripture reminds us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." Fasting, when done with the right heart and motives, can be a powerful spiritual discipline, but we also recognize the practical concerns you’ve shared about your work and interactions with others.

We pray that as you engage in intermittent fasting, the Lord would sustain your strength, focus, and clarity of mind. May He grant you the energy and wisdom to communicate effectively with your colleagues and clients, so that your work may continue to be a testimony of His grace and provision. Philippians 4:13 declares, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me," and we stand on this promise for you today. We ask that the Lord would guard your mind and body from any negative effects of fasting, ensuring that your productivity and relationships remain strong and fruitful.

We also lift up your company and colleagues before the Lord, praying blessings over every aspect of the work being done. May God’s favor rest upon your workplace, bringing unity, wisdom, and success to all who labor there. Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, "Commit your deeds to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed." We pray that every need among your colleagues would be met, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, and that they would come to know the peace and provision of the Lord in their lives.

However, we must also gently remind you that while fasting can be a tool for discipline and health, it should never become an idol or a source of pride. Jesus warns 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 your fasting be a private act of worship and dependence on God, not something done for outward appearance or validation.

Finally, we want to encourage you to keep your focus on the Lord in all things. If your fasting ever begins to hinder your ability to serve Him or others, seek His guidance and adjust as needed. Your ultimate goal should always be to honor God in every area of your life, including your health, work, and relationships. May He bless you abundantly as you seek to walk in His will. In Jesus' name, we pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for this brother/sister in Christ and the desire they have to honor You with their body. Lord, we ask that You would sustain them in their fasting, granting them strength, clarity, and wisdom in their work. Protect their mind and body from any adverse effects, and help them to communicate with grace and effectiveness. We pray blessings over their company and colleagues, that You would meet every need and pour out Your favor upon them. May this time of fasting draw them closer to You and remind them of their dependence on Your provision. Guard their heart from pride or self-righteousness, and help them to keep their eyes fixed on You alone. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, fasting and praying alongside. We believe that as you honor God with your body, He will honor you in your work. Let's claim Proverbs 10:22 together, "The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it." We trust that as you engage in intermittent fasting, God will bless your efforts and protect your work from any negative impact. Let's also pray for your colleagues, that they too would experience God's blessings and favor in their work. In Jesus' name, we pray.

Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
