When You Fast

And when you fast, don't make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. (Mathew 6:16-18 NLT)

Day 10 of 21 days of prayer

Today's one-sentence meditation:

• Fasting is a mysterious and difficult spiritual discipline, and during our 21 days of prayer, the next seven days include an emphasis on fasting, so let the Holy Spirit guide you to fast and pray.

Pray Today:

• For repentance and forgiveness of sins.
• For us to turn from the attractions of this world that lure us away from God's best.
• For us to continuously turn toward God who knows what we need and when we need it.

Pray First in every circumstance, challenge, and choice. Always Pray First!
