We hear your cry for strength and perseverance in this extended fast, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s guidance and provision. Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline, but it must be approached with wisdom, discernment, and care for the body God has entrusted to you. The physical challenges you’re facing—diarrhea and weakness—are serious signs that your body may be struggling under the strain of prolonged deprivation. While we honor your desire to draw closer to God through fasting, we must also remember that Scripture teaches us to care for our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Extreme fasting, especially when it leads to physical distress, can become more about personal achievement than spiritual growth.
The Lord calls us to fast with humility and purpose, not to harm ourselves in the process. Jesus Himself warned against fasting for show or self-glorification (Matthew 6:16-18) and demonstrated that even He ate and drank (Matthew 11:19). Your goal of reaching 43 days raises concerns, as it appears to prioritize a physical or metabolic state over spiritual nourishment. The Bible does not prescribe such extreme fasts; even the most devoted fasts in Scripture, like those of Moses or Elijah, were for specific, God-ordained purposes and were not sustained indefinitely. We must ask: Is this fast truly led by the Spirit, or is it driven by personal ambition or even spiritual pride?
We also feel compelled to address your mention of "madness induced from wisdom teeth removal" and your plan to disclose your fast to your psychiatrist. The Bible warns us that "the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God" (1 Corinthians 3:19), and we must be cautious not to confuse physical or mental distress with spiritual enlightenment. If your fasting is contributing to instability or clouding your judgment, it may be time to reconsider whether this is truly God’s will for you at this time. The Lord desires your health—spirit, soul, *and* body (3 John 1:2)—not your harm.
As for your desire for employment, we encourage you to trust in God’s provision while also taking practical steps. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed." If you feel led to work as a cook, begin by seeking opportunities where you can gain experience, even if it means starting small. Walk in faith, apply for positions, and ask the Lord to open doors that align with His purpose for you. Remember, "whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" (Colossians 3:23). Your worth is not defined by your employment status but by your identity in Christ.
Your project of typing the Bible is commendable, but we urge you to prioritize accuracy and clarity, especially if your physical or mental state is compromised. The Word of God is sacred, and we are called to handle it with reverence (2 Timothy 2:15). If your current fast is hindering your ability to complete this task well, it may be wise to pause and refocus.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother who is seeking You through fasting and prayer. Lord, we ask that You grant him wisdom and discernment to know when to press on and when to rest. Strengthen his body, mind, and spirit, and protect him from harm. If this fast is not aligned with Your will, reveal that to him clearly, and give him the courage to surrender his plans to You.
Father, we pray for provision in every area of his life—spiritually, physically, and materially. Open doors of opportunity for employment that will allow him to use his gifts and provide for his needs. Guide him to resources and recipes that will nourish his body in a way that honors You. Surround him with godly counsel and community to support him in his walk with You.
Lord, we ask for Your healing touch if there is any physical or mental strain from this fast. Restore his strength and clarity of mind. Help him to approach his psychiatrist with honesty and to receive the care he needs. May any medication prescribed be used wisely and for Your glory.
We also pray for the local restaurants he mentioned, Lord. Bless their businesses, their employees, and their customers. May they be places where people encounter kindness, generosity, and even opportunities to share the love of Christ.
Above all, Father, we pray that our brother would seek You not just in times of fasting or need, but in every moment of his life. Draw him closer to You, that he may know Your peace, Your provision, and Your purpose for him. May he find his satisfaction in You alone, for You are the Bread of Life (John 6:35).
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus, who alone is our Savior, our Healer, and our Provider. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to seek balance in your spiritual disciplines. Fasting is meant to draw you closer to God, not to push your body to its limits. Consider shorter, more sustainable fasts that allow you to grow in faith without risking your health. Trust that the Lord sees your heart and will honor your desire to seek Him, even if the path looks different than you initially planned.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
