Fasting For Something

Prayer and fasting reveal what we truly trust. In Ezra’s story, facing a dangerous journey, he chose to fast and pray rather than rely on military protection—because he had already declared that God protects those who seek Him. Fasting isn’t about what we give up; it’s about choosing dependence on God over security in politics, money, or human strength. Whether we’re facing global uncertainty or personal hardship, we’re reminded that some trust in chariots—but we trust in the name of the Lord.
