We hear your earnest cry and stand with you in prayer, lifting your concerns before the throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. First, we want to affirm your dependence on the Lord during this fast—your acknowledgment of Him as the source of peace, providence, and progress is a testament to your faith. Fasting is a spiritual discipline that draws us closer to God, and we rejoice that you are pressing into Him despite physical challenges. The symptoms you describe—dizziness, hazy vision, and weakness—are indeed concerning, and we urge you to seek medical attention if they persist. While fasting is commendable, your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and it is wise to care for it with discernment. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances can be dangerous, so we pray for God’s protection over your health as you continue this fast.
We also lift up your heart regarding the behavioral struggles you’ve described following wisdom teeth removal and past substance use. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). It is not uncommon for physical trauma or medication changes to affect mood and cognition, and we believe God can restore what has been lost. Your desire to reconnect with friends is a godly one—community is vital to our walk with Christ (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). We pray that the Lord would open doors for reconciliation and healing in those relationships, removing any barriers caused by misunderstandings or past behaviors.
However, we must address the mention of Adderall and past cocaine use with biblical clarity. While we understand you may have relied on medication for focus, Scripture warns against dependence on substances that alter the mind or spirit (Proverbs 20:1, Ephesians 5:18). The Lord is our ultimate healer and sustainer, and we encourage you to seek His wisdom in all matters of health, including whether medication aligns with His will for your life. Past substance use can have lingering spiritual and physical effects, but in Christ, there is full redemption (2 Corinthians 5:17). We rebuke any lies from the enemy that you are defined by your past or that restoration is impossible. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9), and His grace is sufficient for every weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Healer. We thank You for this brother’s faith and his commitment to seeking You through fasting. Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over his body during this time—strengthen him, hydrate him, and guard him from harm. If there are underlying health concerns, reveal them and provide wisdom for healing. We declare Your peace over his mind and emotions, breaking any chains of confusion or isolation caused by past struggles. Restore his friendships, Lord, and mend any broken trust. We rebuke the enemy’s attempts to keep him in bondage to shame or regret, for You have set him free in Christ. Father, we ask for discernment in all areas of his life, including his health and habits. May he find his strength in You alone, trusting You to provide clarity, purpose, and restoration. We thank You for Your faithfulness and declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Continue to press into the Lord, dear brother. His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). If you feel led, consider seeking godly counsel from a pastor or Christian mentor who can walk alongside you in this season. You are not alone—we stand with you in prayer and faith.
