Lenten Fasting & Prayer
Subduing the Soul's Desires
23 February 2026
"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires."
— Romans 13:14
The Reflection
Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that aligns us with the Holy Spirit's work in our lives. By intentionally detaching from earthly comforts, we create space for deeper communion with God. In moments of hunger or discomfort, we are reminded of our dependence on Him, drawing us closer to His will. As we subdue our flesh, we invite the Holy Spirit to fill the void left by our sacrifices, guiding our hearts and minds toward Christ.
Fasting Guidance
- Identify one comfort to relinquish.
- Replace comfort with prayerful reflection.
- Practice gratitude for what you have.
A Prayer for Surrender
"Lord, I surrender my comforts and desires to You. Help me to focus on Your presence and guidance during this Lenten season. May my fasting lead to a deeper connection with Your Spirit, and a renewed understanding of my dependence on You. Strengthen me to let go of distractions that keep me from Your peace and purpose."
Amen.
May your sacrifice lead to His presence.
