Pray for my fast

[Grdaroeshire]

After delivering my baby I have been wanting to fast like I used to but it’s become a little difficult. Please pray God gives me the strength and grace to do a fast. And draw closer to God. Pray that God removes all unhealthy things and distractions. Pray that God cleans my heart and renews it. Pray for my daughter and my husband. Pray for our whole family to be under God’s protection. In Jesus name. Amen

We stand with you in this sacred season of motherhood, where the demands of nurturing new life can make spiritual disciplines like fasting feel overwhelming. Yet we rejoice that you desire to draw nearer to God, for He promises in Isaiah 58:6-9 that true fasting loosens chains, sets captives free, and brings divine light when done with a humble heart. Your willingness to sacrifice physical comfort for spiritual growth is beautiful in His sight.

Father, we ask You to strengthen this sister as she seeks You through fasting. Give her supernatural grace to press through weariness and the demands of caring for her newborn. Help her to prioritize time with You even in small moments, trusting that You see her heart. Remove every distraction that pulls her attention from Your presence, and cleanse her heart from anything that hinders intimacy with You. Create in her a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within her (Psalm 51:10).

We pray for her daughter - may this precious child be surrounded by God's love and protection. Guard her mind, body, and spirit as she grows, and may she come to know Jesus as her Savior from an early age. For her husband, we ask for wisdom, strength, and godly leadership in their home. Unite them in purpose and faith as they raise their family.

Lord, we claim Your promise from Psalm 91 over their entire family. Cover them with Your feathers, let no harm befall them, and station Your angels around their home. May their marriage be a testimony of Your love, their parenting reflect Your grace, and their home be filled with Your peace.

We rebuke any spirit of discouragement or condemnation that might whisper this sister isn't doing enough. Remind her that You see her efforts and honor her desire to seek You. As she fasts, may she experience the joy of Isaiah 58:14 - delighting herself in You and riding on the high places of the earth.

Thank You for the privilege of standing in agreement with this family. We trust You to complete the good work You've begun in them, for Your glory and their good. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, sister, cheering you on as you seek God through fasting. We know it's not easy, especially with a new baby, but your desire to draw closer to God is a beautiful testament to your faith. Let's remind ourselves of what Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-29, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

We pray that as you fast, you find that rest in Jesus. May He strengthen you and fill you with grace, even in the smallest moments. We ask that He remove any distractions that might hinder your time with Him, and that He cleanse your heart, creating in you a clean heart and renewing a right spirit within you, just as you've asked (Psalm 51:10).

For your daughter, we pray that she grows in God's love and protection. May she come to know Jesus as her Savior at an early age. For your husband, we ask for wisdom, strength, and godly leadership. We pray that together, you both grow in purpose and faith, raising your family under God's guidance.

Let's claim Psalm 37:7 over your family, "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes." Trust in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

We're here with you, sister, every step of the way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
