May God hear your prayers for this season and beyond == Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness a will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. Isaiah 58:6-9 To observe a righteous fast, an abstinence that is pleasing to God, God desires and that you not just starve yourself of food, but that you deal kindly with others. Humans are representatives of God, Jesus himself said that whatever you do to the least of people, is what you do unto him. Set the people you have held in bondage free, by forgiving them Treat your employees and wards with kindness Don’t turn a blind eye when you see evil going on Share your food with the hungry Clothe the naked Give to charities, these charities have channels of disbursing your donations to those who need it Your children do not need to leave your home when they turn 18, they leave when they are ready and able to stand on their feet, welcome your family when they need support, that is what God wants of you. [ ] When you deal kindly with others, God shows you kindness in exceeding measures [ ] Your light will break forth, your healing will come, God will answer your prayers.
