[Articles]

We join you in seeking the Lord for wisdom in this season and we thank you for bringing these needs before Him in Jesus' name. We are grateful you have asked in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father, as Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

We pray with you for wisdom and direction, for health, for your time in the gym, for the decision involving the person you mentioned, and for excellent and regular scheduled time with your son. The Word tells us in James 1:5, But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. And we echo the prayer of Col 1:9, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. We ask the Lord to make your path clear, to give you discernment for each decision, and to order your steps regarding your son, that your time together would be consistent, fruitful, and honoring to God, building him up in the nurture and instruction of the Lord.

We also lift up your desire for health and for grace in this season of fasting according to Isa 58:7-14. We pray that your fast would be according to His heart, not merely abstaining from food but as Isa 58:7 says, to share your bread with the hungry and bring the poor who are cast out to your house, to loose the bonds of wickedness and to let the oppressed go free. When the fast is done unto the Lord and not for the praise of men, He promises in Isa 58:11, and Yahweh will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters don't fail. We ask for special grace and strength for your body during this fast, that He would sustain you, keep you from spiritual pride, and keep your motives pure as taught in Matt 6:16-18. For your health and your time in the gym, we remember Psalm 103:2-5, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; who satisfies your desire with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. And we hold 1 Tim 4:8 before you, For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now, and of that which is to come. We pray for renewed strength, discipline, and healing where needed, and that your physical stewardship would serve your godliness and your ability to minister, not become an idol or a distraction.

We bring before the Lord your second burden, the possible move, the not for profit setup, and the other matters and people you mentioned, along with your desire for effective ministry to the Lord Himself, to disciples, and to the lost. We ask for clear open and closed doors, for provision, for wise counsel, and for favor. We pray that whatever you do would be done for the glory of God and the building up of His kingdom, and that He would establish the work of your hands and give you pure motives, free from self promotion as warned in 1 Cor 8:1, where knowledge puffs up, but love builds up, and free from the appearance of godliness without power as in 2 Tim 3:5.

We also agree with you for protection from temptation, deception, lies, evil people, falsehood, fear, and sin, and from the evil one himself. We pray as you asked from Luke 11:4 and Matt 6:13, Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. We pray as Jesus prayed in John 17:15, I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one. We pray as in 1 John 5:18, that he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn't touch him. We ask the Lord to guard you from deception as warned in Matt 24:4, that no one would lead you astray, and to deliver you from unreasonable and evil men as in 2 Thess 3:2, for not all have faith. May He fulfill Zeph 3:13 over your life, keeping you from doing perversity and speaking lies, and keeping your mouth free from a deceitful tongue, that you may feed and lie down with no one to make you afraid.

Father, we lift our brother to You together. Pour out wisdom liberally, give grace for this fast, guide every decision, heal and strengthen his body, bless his time with his son, direct his steps concerning the move and the ministry You have entrusted to him, and set a hedge of protection around him from every form of evil, deception, and temptation. Let him walk in truth, humility, and holiness, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

We appreciate you laying all of this before the Lord so honestly. Seeking wisdom for your health, your time with your son, the possible move and ministry steps, and asking for protection in the midst of it all is a lot to hold in one season.

We hear your desire to set aside a focused time of fasting and prayer, and we want to join you in asking for clarity and steadiness as you wait on the Lord. Because fasting can affect your health, we encourage you to talk with your doctor and with a pastor you trust before you begin an extended fast, so you have wise support for both body and spirit as you pray.

It can also help to narrow your list to one or two next decisions to bring to the Lord each day, rather than carrying them all at once, and to keep a simple note of what you sense He is showing you about time with your son and the other open doors.

We pray for you now. Father, we ask You to give our brother wisdom, strength for his body, and peace as he seeks You. Guard his time with his son, guide his steps regarding work and ministry, and keep him from temptation and harm. Lead him in Your will day by day. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

We have heard your petition and we join with you in seeking the face of Him who is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. You ask for wisdom according to Colossians 1, for grace in a season of fasting according to Isaiah 58, for health and for bodily exercise, and for direction in many weighty matters, and we count it a right and needful thing to pray with you.

Where shall wisdom be found, for the price of it is above rubies. It is not in the haste of our own judgment, for haste is the author of a great deal of mischief in human life, but it is in Christ and in submission to the will of God. Bowing with submission to that will we are furnished with unerring guidance. Remember that holiness is as near akin to perfect wisdom as sin is to insanity, and the principles infused in every man who takes God for his Guide will teach him to avoid everything that is evil. Therefore we pray that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that you may walk worthy of the Lord. Take time to wait upon Him, be not rash in decision concerning health, concerning the gym, concerning time with your son, concerning a possible move and the labour of a not for profit work and ministry to disciples and to the lost. Bodily exercise profiteth little but godliness is profitable unto all things, so let the care of the body be held in its right place, thankful for health as a mercy from Psalms 103, who forgives all thine iniquities and healeth all thy diseases, yet seeking first that grace which makes the soul strong.

Concerning fasting, the Lord shews in Isaiah 58 that He desires not mere outward abstinence but a fasting that looses the bands of wickedness and bows the heart before God. When we are emptied of our own conceits then we are in a fit state to be filled with His fulness and to be wise with His wisdom. May your fasting be joined to prayer, to brokenness of heart, to practical mercy, and to communion with Christ, that it may not be a work of the flesh but a waiting upon the Lord.

You pray also to be kept from temptation, from deception and lies and evil men, from fear and sin and the evil one himself, and this is a prayer which our Lord Himself taught us. Lead us not into temptation. The word means more than trial, though all temptation from Satan is trial from God, and we do right to pray thus because temptation in itself is a thing very dangerous. God does sometimes put His chosen where they are tried in providence, yet we must not for any reason desire to be afflicted or tried, but must pray to be kept. There are temptations arising out of physical conditions and out of prosperity and out of weariness, and we are all weak, old as well as young, except as He gives wisdom and keeps us. Remember this, he who prays lead us not into temptation and then goes into it is a liar before God. We must not run into By Path Meadow and expect the promise in all thy ways to keep us when we have left His ways of our own choosing. So we pray for you as you have asked from Luke 11 and Matthew 6 and John 17, that the Lord would keep you from the hour of temptation, that He would deliver you from the evil one, that no motion of the heart towards sin would be entertained, that you would be preserved from falsehood and from the influence of evil men and from the deceitfulness of your own heart.

We pray that every relationship and every decision in your life may be ordered according to the holy will of God revealed in Scripture, that whatsoever is done may be done in purity and truth and in the fear of the Lord, for we know that His blessing rests only upon that which is according to His Word. May the Lord grant you protection, discernment to know the spirits, courage to avoid the appearance of evil, and grace to walk humbly and circumspectly.

We will continue to bear you up before the throne of grace, asking that Christ may be your wisdom and your strength, that your health may be restored and preserved as it pleases Him, that your service may be fruitful, and that you may be kept from falling, to the praise of His glory. We ask all in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom alone is salvation, and in whom alone we have confidence to approach the Father. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your seeking after the Lord for wisdom and for grace in fasting has been received with thankfulness, and we join you in prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone is salvation and access to the Father.

We pray that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, as you asked from Colossians 1. The wisdom of this world terminates here and profits little, but the wisdom from above makes us truly prudent, teaching us His secrets and raising us from nothing to abundance through the Cross. We ask God to grant you that wisdom which is not mere cleverness, but virtue, lowliness of mind, mercy and faithfulness, so that you may walk worthily, discern His will, and bear fruit in every good work.

Concerning your fast according to Isaiah 58, we pray that it may be kept not for show or vainglory, which can corrupt even prayer and fasting and almsgiving, but in humility and love. True fasting afflicts the soul for a season yet becomes pleasant to those who practice self control with a willing heart, and God joins it to mercy, to loose bonds, to share bread with the hungry, to care for your own household and neighbor. May the Lord give you grace for this season, to seek Him and not praise from men, and to let your fasting be joined to deeds of love.

For health and for bodily discipline you mentioned Psalm 103 and 1 Timothy 4. We bless the Lord who forgives all your iniquities and heals your diseases and renews your strength, and we ask Him to sustain your health according to His mercy. Bodily training does have some value, yet godliness is profitable for all things, holding promise for this life and the next. We pray that your time in the gym would serve godliness, with moderation and thankfulness, strengthening the body to serve the Lord and not to feed pride or vainglory.

For direction in the many decisions before you, for health, for discipline, for excellent and regular time with your son, for a possible move, for the setting up of a not for profit, and for your labors concerning ministry to the Lord and to disciples and to the lost, we ask God to make your way clear. We pray that you would be a faithful steward of whatever ability He has given you, whether in protection, in teaching, or in giving, living not for yourself alone but for the common good. We pray that every relationship and decision, including those you mentioned, would be ordered under the Lordship of Christ and according to His good design, that marriage would be honored as the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that all intimacy and living together would be kept within that covenant in purity, and that whatever is not according to His will would be made plain and turned from in repentance and faith.

For protection from temptation, deception, lies, fear, sin and the evil one, we plead the promises you cited. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape that you may endure it. We ask for deliverance from the evil one, for guarding from falsehood and from evil people, for humility to be kept from pride which destroys every excellence, and for a sober mind kept from vainglory and from the love of money which is the root of all evil.

May the Lord establish you, grant you wisdom for each step, receive your fasting, strengthen your body and soul, guard your son and your time together, guide your steps regarding home and work and ministry, and keep you from all evil, that you may stand complete in Christ, joyful and steadfast.

We continue to pray for you, asking all this in Jesus name, Amen.
