40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 13 - Reasons for Spiritual Decline

Thoughts for Day 13

Fasting for Lord’s House

Nehemiah 1:4

“As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.”

Nehemiah was a cup bearer to Persian emperor. Can the most powerful world leader have a slave of enemy nation as his complete confidant that he trusted his life with??!!!

That was the character of Nehemiah….wow!!!

One day his brother, Hanani, came from Judah. Nehemiah asked about the conditions of the city of the Lord. It was not good news.

That triggered burden in Nehemiah to fast. His burden sustained and he fasted for almost 4 months!!!

Did you notice the zeal he has for Lord’s house and city???

When was the last time your fasting was triggered by the zeal for your church?

Ps 69:9; John 2:17

For zeal for your house has consumed me…..
