40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025

Days of Cleansing (Noah’s flood)

Purpose of Fasting

Ps 69:10 - When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

The context of Psalm 69 is prophecy regarding sufferings of Christ.

But if we just look at the phrase “chastened my soul with fasting”….we understand that one of the main goals of fasting is chastening (purifying our soul).

Soul has the faculty of thoughts, desires, inclinations, decision making, etc…

How are our thoughts and desires?

If they are inclined more towards worldly things and fleshly things…..we need the chastening.

Let’s just check our thoughts and desires we had in the last few days….we will know our inclinations.

Also note from the verse that it’s voluntary (“I chastened…”).

May the Lord give us the heart that seek the things above 🙌🙏

Col 3:1

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
