Prayer - Healing through fasting

Lord my God and Heavenly Father.

Thank You LORD that you show us Your will through Your Word. Thank you for Your mercy towards us LORD. LORD forgive our  jokes about the virus and our refusal to humble ourselves before You. LORD forgive those that feast and drink in a time of mourning and judgement. LORD we pray that You will open our eyes, minds and hearts.

LORD when all the Jews fasted and humbled themselves before You, You had mercy, heard their prayers and delivered them from the decree that Haman sent out to have them killed. (Esther)

LORD let our fasting be one that You have chosen: to brake the yoke of sickness and for our prayers to be heard. LORD let us share what we have with those that are hungry. Place upon our hearts the manner in which You want us to obey. LORD help us to understand that we should not fast with a miserable countenance but that you require that we wash our face and that our appearance be as one that do not fast.

Lord Your word makes it clear that when we fast and seek You that You will hear and have mercy upon us. So we fasted and besought our God for this: and He was intreated of us. Ezra 8: 23. Lord we rent our hearts and we return to You God for You are gracious, compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.

LORD let us understand that we were raised for a time like this, we fit into Your plan and have a purpose we have to fulfill. LORD Mordecai said to Esther that if she does not obey help will come from another source and that her family will perish. Let us do what You require my LORD.

LORD do not allow the unbelievers to say: "Where is Your God?" LORD have mercy upon us, let our light brake through the dawn and let our healing quickly appear. We ask this in the Mighty name of Jesus. Amen   

Scriptures.

Isaiah 58 : 6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and brake every yoke?" Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter - when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will brake forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before You, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. Then you will call. and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and He will say: Here am I. If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; You will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. If you keep your feet from  breaking the Sabbath and from  doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Ezra 8:23 - So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.

Matthew 6: 17-18 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Joel 2:12 -14 "Even now"declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart. with fasting and weeping and mourning"Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing - grain offerings and drink offerings for the LORD your God.

Joel 2: 17 Let the priests, who minister before the LORD, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, "Spare your people, LORD". Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, "Where is their God?" Then the LORD was jealous for his land and took pity on his people. 
Esther 4 :16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

Esther 4: 14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.
