Preparation for Fasting
A short prayer to open ourselves in preparation for fasting, following the examples of David and Jesus, showing a passionate devotion towards God in both humility and remorse.
Lord Almighty Father, You are the Living God and one true God.
With much gratitude, I thank you for your daily provision.
Guide me through this time, let me hear from your Word,
Fill me be with your spirit as I offer to you my time in fasting.
As I willingly present to You this humble sacrifice,
I pray that you would keep me from temptation,
and grant me endurance to remain faithful towards You.
Through this fast, remind me of the abundance of what I have,
that I may continuously be grateful for life and your blessings.
Give me this chance to repent for all my sins against You and others,
openly asking for Your forgiveness with a true intent.
Make it so that my heart, mind, body, and soul are aligned,
In this way, I could openly reach out to my Savior to give a worthy praise.
