40 Days of Prayer & FastingSample

Fasting + Creation

Fasting and creation may not be your typical ways of connecting with God but we can connect with Him in so many ways.

As you fast, be sure to spend time in God’s creation. Explore a new outdoor area. If possible, meet the Lord in a new space during the fast and allow Him to minister to you through His creation. Don’t let fasting keep you withdrawn and inside, but instead, go outside, breathe the fresh air, and go on an adventure with the Lord, even if it’s just down the street. He created all things, including us with the ability and design to deny ourselves in fasting. If you are unable to do physical activities outside, simply sit on a park bench or go for a light walk.

Prayer: Lord, connect with me through Your creation today. Open my eyes to see the beauty of Your handiwork in the earth. I join in with all of nature in glorifying You. Thank you for Your creation. Thank You for the beauty and intention that I am surrounded with. Just like You designed and formed Adam and Eve with the ability to deny themselves, I know You’ve given me the ability to deny myself. In my fasting, I join with nature in worshipping You. Amen.
