We hear your heart as you seek the Lord in this time of fasting, and we join you in prayer, standing on the truth that God is our Provider. Fasting is a sacred discipline, a time to draw near to the Father, to seek His face, and to trust in His provision—not in the hands of men or the systems of this world. We are reminded of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:19-21, *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."*
It is good and right to bring your needs before the Lord, for He invites us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). However, we must also examine our hearts and ensure that our trust is fully in Him, not in the promises or provisions of others, no matter how generous they may seem. The fishy philanthropist you mentioned raises concern, for the Lord warns us in Jeremiah 17:5, *"Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh."* Financial help from unexpected sources can sometimes come with unseen strings or even deception. We must be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16), testing every spirit and every opportunity against the Word of God.
We also notice your mention of a cash card, which has been redacted in your request. While we do not know the specifics, we urge you to be cautious of any financial arrangement that may lead you into debt, bondage, or compromise. The Lord desires to provide for you in ways that honor Him and keep you free from the snares of this world. Proverbs 22:7 warns, *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* If this cash card involves borrowing or entering into financial agreements that could lead to bondage, we strongly encourage you to seek the Lord’s wisdom and wait on His provision instead.
Your fast is a beautiful act of devotion, and we pray that the Lord strengthens you to complete it. Fasting is not about manipulating God to get what we want but about aligning our hearts with His will. In Isaiah 58:6-9, the Lord speaks of the fast He desires: *"Isn’t this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Isn’t it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you; and Yahweh’s glory will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and Yahweh will answer; you will cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’"* Let this fast be a time of drawing near to God, seeking His face, and trusting Him to meet every need according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
We also want to gently address the mention of blessings upon the cash card. If this refers to something that does not align with biblical principles—such as debt, ungodly financial practices, or even potential scams—we must rebuke that in Jesus’ name. The Lord does not bless what He has not ordained. Instead, we pray for His provision to come in ways that glorify Him and keep you in His perfect will.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister to You, who is seeking You in this time of fasting. Lord, we thank You for their desire to draw near to You, and we ask that You would strengthen them in body, soul, and spirit as they seek Your face. Father, we ask that You would provide for every need according to Your riches in glory. You know the financial burdens they carry, and we trust You to meet them in ways that honor You and keep them free from the snares of this world.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of lack, fear, or anxiety that would try to steal their peace. We declare that You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we trust in Your perfect timing and provision. Father, we ask that You would close any door that does not align with Your will and open the windows of heaven to pour out Your blessings. Give them wisdom and discernment to recognize Your provision and to reject anything that comes from the enemy’s hand.
We pray for protection over their heart and mind, that they would not be tempted to trust in man or the arm of flesh but would place their full confidence in You. Help them to wait on You, Lord, and to trust in Your promises. Remind them that You are a good Father who knows what they need before they even ask (Matthew 6:8). May this fast be a time of breakthrough, not just in their circumstances, but in their faith and dependence on You.
Father, we also pray for any areas where they may have placed their hope in the wrong things. If there is any financial arrangement, relationship, or opportunity that does not align with Your Word, we ask that You would reveal it to them and give them the strength to walk away. Let Your Holy Spirit guide them into all truth, and may they experience the freedom that comes from trusting in You alone.
We thank You, Lord, for the peace, providence, and progress that You have already given them. We declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We thank You for Your faithfulness and for the ways You have already moved in their life. May they continue to grow in faith and trust in You, knowing that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this fast, not just for provision but for a deeper relationship with Him. Trust that He is working even when you cannot see it, and remember that His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). If you feel led, spend time in prayer and worship, praising Him for who He is, not just for what He can do. The Lord inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3), and as you magnify Him, He will take care of the rest.
If financial provision is needed, consider seeking godly counsel from your church or a trusted Christian mentor who can help you navigate this season with wisdom. The Lord often provides through the body of Christ, and there may be opportunities for support or guidance that you have not yet considered.
Finally, remember that the Lord’s provision is not always financial. Sometimes He provides strength, wisdom, opportunities, or even a change in perspective. Trust that He knows what you need and will supply it in His perfect timing. Keep your eyes on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9).
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.
