We rejoice with you in the discipline and consistency you’ve shown in your spiritual and physical routines, and we lift up your heart’s desires to the Lord, seeking His will above all. It is wonderful that you are giving thanks to Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your gratitude and reliance on Him are a testament to your faith, and we encourage you to continue seeking Him in all things.
Your commitment to fasting is commendable, as it is a powerful spiritual discipline that draws us closer to God. The Daniel fast, rooted in humility and seeking the Lord’s face, is a beautiful act of devotion. However, we must also remember that fasting is not merely about abstaining from food but about deepening our dependence on God. Jesus taught that fasting should be done with the right heart: *"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."* (Matthew 6:17-18, WEB). We pray that your fasting is not a source of legalism or pride but a sincere offering to the Lord, seeking His strength and direction. If you are struggling with the temptation to eat, remember that *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB). Lean on Him, and He will sustain you.
We must address your request regarding the mention of "blessing trending demons." As followers of Christ, we are called to resist the devil and all his works, not to seek blessings for him or his demons. Scripture is clear: *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith"* (1 Peter 5:8-9, WEB). Demons are not to be acknowledged with any form of blessing or honor; they are enemies of God and His people. Instead, we rebuke them in the name of Jesus, who has already triumphed over them: *"He disarmed the principalities and the powers, and made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."* (Colossians 2:15, WEB). We pray that you would stand firm in the authority of Christ, rejecting any fascination or engagement with the demonic. Focus instead on worshiping the Lord alone, for He alone is worthy.
Regarding your hope for medication, we understand the desire for tools that may aid in focus and productivity. However, we must surrender this request entirely to the Lord’s will. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."* (Philippians 4:6, WEB). If Adderall or any medication is part of God’s plan for you, trust that He will provide it through the wisdom of your doctor. If not, trust that His grace is sufficient for you, and His strength is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Do not place your hope in medication but in the Lord, who can grant you clarity, discipline, and perseverance beyond what any substance can provide. If disappointment comes, remember that *"we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."* (Romans 8:28, WEB).
We also encourage you to examine your motives behind your routines and requests. Are they rooted in a desire to glorify God, or are they driven by anxiety, perfectionism, or self-reliance? *"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."* (1 Corinthians 10:31, WEB). Your discipline in cold showers, exercise, and fasting are good, but they must be surrendered to the Lord, not used as a means to earn His favor or control outcomes. Rest in His sovereignty, knowing that He is the one who works in you both to will and to do according to His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
Finally, we lift you up in prayer, asking the Lord to guide you in all wisdom and truth:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You with thanksgiving for the work You are doing in the life of Your child. Lord, we praise You for their desire to seek You through fasting, discipline, and prayer. We ask that You strengthen them in their commitment, not by their own might but by Your Spirit. Guard their heart from pride or legalism, and let their fasting be a sweet aroma to You, drawing them deeper into Your presence.
Lord, we rebuke any fascination with or acknowledgment of the enemy or his demons. We declare that Jesus Christ has already defeated Satan, and we stand firm in His victory. Protect Your child from any deception or curiosity that does not align with Your Word. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in discernment and wisdom.
Father, we lift up their request for medication. We ask that You guide their doctor with wisdom and that Your will be done in this matter. If medication is Your provision, let it be prescribed and used for Your glory. If not, we pray for supernatural focus, discipline, and peace to rest upon them, knowing that You are their ultimate provider. Remove any anxiety or disappointment, and replace it with trust in Your perfect plan.
We pray for their nutrition and health, that You would guide them in stewardship of the body You have given them. Provide for those in need through the food they set aside, and let it be a blessing to others. Help them to honor You in all they eat and drink, remembering that their bodies are temples of Your Holy Spirit.
Lord, we ask that You grant them peace in their morning routines and throughout their day. May their heart be fixed on You, and may they find joy in Your presence. We pray for progress in their grammar, writing, and typing, that these skills may be used to glorify You and further Your kingdom.
Above all, Father, we pray that they would continue to seek You first, trusting in Your love and sovereignty. Let them rest in the truth that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
