Isaiah 58:3-5
3-5"Well, here's why:

"The bottom line on your 'fast days' is profit.
You drive your employees much too hard.
You fast, but at the same time you bicker and fight.
You fast, but you swing a mean fist.
The kind of fasting you do
won't get your prayers off the ground.
Do you think this is the kind of fast day I'm after:
a day to show off humility?
To put on a pious long face
and parade around solemnly in black?
Do you call that fasting,
a fast day that I, God, would like?

Well for me so far i guess everything come quite timely as according to what i am going thru. Yes i admit i did put up a show for everyone around me. Like what was written, when i fast but i still do other things that is not pleasing to God's eyes. But in this season of fasting again, i sincerely yearn to find God, and ask God to do a deeper work in my heart. I don't want to fast because that i am told to do so, i want to do it because i want to please God.

Dear Father, i pray that during this period of fasting for me, may my fasting be pleasing before You, if there is anything i need to work on please show me more and guide me to success. Teach me the true meaning of love. Like what you have said in 1 tim 1:5 "The whole point of what we're urging is simply love—love uncontaminated by self-interest and counterfeit faith, a life open to God." Let my life be an open and transparent one before You and man. Teach me how to walk a blameless life, guide me. I am weak but You are strong God. I cry out for your help.
