Fasting and Prayer Day 5 – Hey ה
Hey ה
The letter ה (hey) is the fifth letter of the Aleph-Bet and is also used as the number 5. Its classic pictograph is like a man with arms raised. Jewish mystics associate this letter with the divine breath, revelation, and light.
Hey ה Prayer Focus: Jesus Is The Light!
The literal meaning of the name Hey is look, or behold. In the days of creation, God saw that what He created was good. In the creation account, light is mentioned 5 times on the first day.
Thus, Hey ה is also associated with God’s creative power. So much symbolism here. If you have experienced the first Creation to Christ reading in a Discovery Group, there are many correlations!
Psalms 33:6 (NLT)
6 The LORD merely spoke,
and the heavens were created.
He breathed the word,
and all the stars were born.
“Let there be light!” “He breathed the word!”
John 1:1 (NLT) 1 In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
John 1:4-5 (NLT) The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
Today we focus on on the Light of Jesus that shines in darkness. We can’t turn the dark off, but Jesus is the light! Let’s let Him shine in our lives! Here are some scriptures to meditate on as we pray together: (mouse over or click the scripture references)
Isaiah 49:6 | Acts 26:23 | John 8:12 |
1 John 2:7-11 | 1 Timothy 6:15-16 | Revelation 21:23-25
Section ה of Psalm 119
Psalms 119:32-40 (NET) ה (He)
33 Teach me, O LORD, the lifestyle prescribed by your statutes,
so that I might observe it continually.
34 Give me understanding so that I might observe your law,
and keep it with all my heart.
35 Guide me in the path of your commands,
for I delight to walk in it.
36 Give me a desire for your rules,
rather than for wealth gained unjustly.
37 Turn my eyes away from what is worthless!
Revive me with your word!
38 Confirm to your servant your promise,
which you made to the one who honors you.
39 Take away the insults that I dread!
Indeed, your regulations are good.
40 Look, I long for your precepts.
Revive me with your deliverance!

There are twenty-two letters in the Hebrew Aleph-Bet (alphabet), and each letter is rich with spiritual meaning. The Hebrew word meaning “letter” is אוֹת, which in English is transliterated as “ot”. אוֹת can also mean sign or wonder! Many Hebrew scholars believe that each letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet contains miraculous signs that point us to the wonder of God’s truth!
Below you will find more detail and links to a short devotional and prayer focus for each of the 22 days, based on the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. Comments are enabled on each page so we can encourage each other, and learn together!
A prayer group is available on the web or in our t.c Mobile App, and a virtual prayer room is linked below. Specific requests can be posted publically or privately at the prayer wall.
We are expecting God to continue to do great things in 2022. Who’s ready to fast and pray Faith Forward?
22 Days of Fasting And Prayer Devotionals
We will be focusing on a different letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet each day. According to Jewish tradition, God created the entire universe using these letters and taught them to Adam who passed them down through the generations. As we fast and pray together, we will explore the Biblical symbolism and meaning of each letter.
There will be a new post each day! If you would like more extensive self-study, here’s a link to a great resource:
The Hebrew Alphabet
There are several examples in the Bible where the writers used the Hebrew alphabet as an acrostic. (Meaning that the first word of each verse begins with each Hebrew letter in turn, from 1 through 22. The most famous example is Psalm 119, which features 22 sections of 8 verses that start with the corresponding letter. Those sections will be posted each day for reading and to guide our prayer.
