On This Day Of Fasting I Prayer

[Mandy]

This is the New Year and as believers I think it is a good way to start by Fasting.

This is our way to recommitting to God and his work here on earth as prayer warriors and intercessors .

For those who are new to this, we will begin Friday, January 7th in the morning and go through to the afternoon for persons who may be on medication.

During this time we will recommit our selves our lives and our work to Christ.

It is not only about not eating but you can give up things that mean a lot for that time.

This is our way of refreshing ourselves.

This is to show our Father how serious we are and how far we will go for him and his word.

If you will be participating, have any questions, or comments, please post a reply to this topic here.

We can also post messages to this topic during and after the fast as well.

This is the day that the Lord hath made let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Father i bring before you all prayer warriors ,all standers ,all who seek prayers today .I request the prayers of your people gathered here that we lift each other up today and through out this year .That as we fast that we will be cleansed from the inside out .That we will start the year afresh on our knees .I pray that we let nothing or no one stand in our way of doing good in your presence or for our brothers and sister . Please pray that we will lean on you and not our own understandings .That we will renounce the enemy and call upon your name .Father as we go through this day of fasting i pray that we will grow stronger in faith that through you we will be able to lead others to you.

As we take on this challenge may we be drawn closer to you , may we as a people never forget the sacrifice your son Jesus made on our behalf .That we can be free to praise your name. Help us to be upright in all our doings and never forget to call upon your name in good times as well as in bad .Dear Father guide us ,protect our families and your children everywhere from all forms of satanic doings . Save us and our families from the ravishes of drugs ,alcoholism and every vice that the enemy has concocted . Finally Father help us to be patient and wait upon you .Help us to discern your voice from those who will pretend and make promises that sounds great but are really meant to capture us into further sin .May all of your children come to share in your heavenly kingdom ,through Jesus Christ our lord Amen .

In Jesus wonderful name i pray Amen

I made a visit to the website just in time. I have not logged in for a while, but I am glad I did today to be part of this. I will be fasting from my Droid (phone). I rely on it too much throughout the day & I should rely on God more. (Cannot fast from food since I'm a nursing mom). I want to be a better person & grow closer to God in 2011. I am fasting & praying for my marriage, family and for everyone else here. I am praying for our commitment to the Lord, and that we will make him the priority in our lives. In order to improve my personal well-being this year, I am praying to read the Bible (early mornings), tell my husband how much I love him everyday, attend my BK group's luncheons every month at church, cook healthier for my family, and spend more quiet time in prayer. I am not perfect, I may fall, but I will do my best to get back up... And above all, never let go of God's grasp on me.

Lord, Jesus, I cannot express enough thanks for everything we have, such as our homes, physical health, warmth when it's cold & cold when it's warm, clean water, food on the table, my husband & partner, and everyone here on this website who come seeking prayer & who humbly & selflessly pray for others. Help each of us to be better people this year. Let us spend more quiet time with you, help us to prioritize according to your will & show us how to love others as you do... to respect & honor our spouses & to be outstanding role-models for our children. I pray that our actions will be an inspiration to those closest to us. I pray that everyone here who is struggling in marriage, I pray that you will bring healing & complete restoration and that both man & wife put their trust in you... and grow closer to you, and as a result see the blessings that follow. Let us never take what we have for granted & forgive us for the small things which we overlook everyday. Help us to follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Thank you for 2011 and for everyday you give us. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

Father i thank you for guiding me to invite your servant Yuna . It is amazing the little thigs that can distract us from your word and your callings .Help us Lord to be more vigilant ,to be more mindful of the work and calling you have for us to do for the kingdom .Help us not to be come so wrapped up in our material gains that we forget of others who are not so fortunate .Help us whenever or wherever possible to help a brother or sister out whether it is financially or spiritually .Lord teach how to become more like you .Continue to forgive us our sins and bring us to a newness of life this in ask in Jesus name Amen.

Heavenly Father,

Thank your for this special day. Help me to stay focused on You and attentive to the Holy Spirit. Help me to be faithful in this fast, to think nothing of the food I'm forgoing in comparison to spending some dedicated time with You. Thank you for the ability to do that today and for the countless blessings You have showered me with over this life. I join my prayer partners here in asking that Your will be done in 2011 in all of our lives. Help us to live each day to please You. Let us walk in the center of Your will, to see with Your eyes, to hear Your voice and obey Your Word. Use this site to touch lives for the Kingdom, to bring You glory, to draw hurting people closer to You. Protect it from the enemy, and his minions who seek to destroy and distract us from seeking You. Accomplish Your plans and purposes in the lives that come here seeking help. Help me to be faithful here praying for others and to follow where You lead.

You are so AWESOME and MIGHTY! TRUE LOVE. Our COMFORT and STRENGTH. Our DELIVERER. Our SAVIOR and LORD. The ONLY GOD!

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
