The Daniel Fast Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am beginning to reap in my life the fruit sown during years of neglect and abuse of my body. Like so many of my contemporaries, I would prefer to enjoy good health and a long life. But to achieve this goal, I recognize the need to repent from the way I have been treating the temple of the Holy Spirit and practice better stewardship in caring for the body You have given me. I sense the Daniel Fast may be an important part of that stewardship. Lord, as I follow Your leading in my life and observe the Daniel Fast, begin the process of healing my body and restoring my health. Make me sensitive to what You want to accomplish in my body and accept my body as a living sacrifice to You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
