40 DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING
Fasting is truly a way to focus on God – spirit,
soul, and body.
Prayer & Fasting Guide
What is Fasting and Why Is It Important?
“Fasting is not so much about food as it is about
focus. It’s not so much about saying
no to the body as it is about saying yes to God.”
– Lance Witt
The Bible
is clear that there is power in our prayers when they are coupled with fasting. Throughout history, God’s people
united in prayer
and fasting to seek God’s favor, deliverance, direction, or
provision:
▪
Moses fasted
before he received
the Ten Commandments (Exodus 34:28).
▪
God’s people fasted when they were under attack
from their enemies
(2 Chronicles
▪
20:3).
▪
David fasted
in mourning and repentance (2 Samuel 12:16).
▪
Ezra led the nation
in prayer and fasting for protection and success in
building the
▪
temple (Ezra 8:21).
▪
God’s people fasted when Esther went before the king to win their deliverance (Esther
4:16).
▪
Daniel fasted and prayed
for God’s mercy on the nation (Daniel
9:3).
▪
Nehemiah fasted
before beginning the rebuilding
of the walls of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 1:4).
▪
Jesus fasted
during his victory
over temptation (Matthew 4:2).
▪
The early church fasted to receive direction in their
decisions (Acts 13:2-3).
▪
The apostle
Paul fasted when appointing leaders for the church (Acts 14:23).
Jesus not
only practiced fasting, He also taught us to fast. In the middle of the Sermon
of the Mount, Jesus said this: “When you fast, do not look somber as the
hypocrites do, for they disfigure
their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have
received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face,
so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but
only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you.”
MATTHEW 6:16-18 (NIV)
Notice,
Jesus does not say if you fast. He
says when you fast. He assumed we
would do it, so he taught the proper
attitude about fasting.
A biblical
fast means to reduce or eliminate food intake for a specific period of time for
the purpose of seeking God. The
proper way to fast is to use the time you would have spent preparing, eating, and sharing a meal to
feast on the Word and talk to the Lord. Think of it this way: How long would it take you to have lunch with a
friend? And what would you do when you had lunch together? You would eat and
talk. Think of reading the Word as the eating part of the meal, and prayer
as the conversational part of the meal. Take your time. Do not eat too fast.
Read the Scriptures slowly. And do not rush the conversation. Instead,
enjoy God’s company. Give God your full attention and tell him why you are fasting.
There
are many ways to fast. You can abstain from food and liquids for one or more
days. You can fast just from food.
You can do a partial fast from certain foods (sometimes called a Daniel fast).
If fasting is new for you,
you might just try fasting from one meal. Fast during your lunch
break and use that time to “feast” on the Lord. Go out to your car, sit at
your desk, or go for a walk,
but use that time
to read your Bible and talk
to God in prayer.

This includes all of us, both far and near – the people of Judah, Jerusalem, and Israel, as well as those you dragged away to foreign lands, and even our kings, our officials, and our ancestors.
