Prayer and Fasting Week Four

Here are a few verses to help us in our Prayer & Fasting this week:

Psalm 16:7-8
7 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;    even at night my heart instructs me.8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord.    With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Psalm 16:9-11
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;    my body also will rest secure,10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,    nor will you let your faithful[a] one see decay.11 You make known to me the path of life;    you will fill me with joy in your presence,    with eternal pleasures at your right hand.Proverbs 3:5-65 Trust in the Lord with all your heart    and lean not on your own understanding;6 in all your ways submit to him,    and he will make your paths straight.[a]

Proverbs 3:7-8
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;    fear the Lord and shun evil.8 This will bring health to your body    and nourishment to your bones.

Proverbs 4:20-23
20 My son, pay attention to what I say;    turn your ear to my words.21 Do not let them out of your sight,    keep them within your heart;22 for they are life to those who find them    and health to one’s whole body.23 Above all else, guard your heart,    for everything you do flows from it.

Proverbs 14:30
30 A heart at peace gives life to the body,    but envy rots the bones.Proverbs 16:2424 Gracious words are a honeycomb,    sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.Matthew 6:2222 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.

Romans 12:1-212 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I Cor. 6:12-13
12 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

2 Corinthians 4:7-9
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:10-11
10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body.

Galatians 2:20
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Ephesians 4:14
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Philippians 1:20
20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

I Thessalonians 5:23
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
