Fasting and Prayer
The UK Referendum
If you feel that you want to help our nation at this time, then join me in a day of prayer and fasting.
Prayer
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7: 14.
Heavenly Father,
we pray for our nation and say sorry for the things that have been said and done that have grieved your Holy Spirit over the last weeks and months by the leaders of our nation and people in order to sway their arguments of whether to stay or leave the European Union. Please forgive us all our sins and we turn to you for your guidance.
Fasting
We fast for the greater good of others, and not to get our own way. Isaiah 58:3
Praying for a particular need and the things that surround that situation.
Talking to God as you would to a close friend, i find using scripture for guidance helps.
Drink plenty of fluids during the fast, for people who have health problems maybe feel that they should only fast for a short period, and that’s okay, the Lord understands. But carrying on with prayer is important till we feel the Holy Spirit telling us to ease off.
Praise
“Rejoice in the lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. . . . Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:4, 6.
Playing music or singing in between prayer I really enjoy, my spirit soars with heartfelt praise.
Lord Jesus, May your concerns be ours and help us Holy Spirit to pray as you lead us. Thank you Lord that you hear our prayers and answer them according to your will. In Jesus’ name.
