I Am Fasting

Lord, I am fasting
to focus my heart and mind on you,
to say to you that your blessing
and your help
is more important to me than food.
I am fasting to remind myself
that all things are worthless and tasteless
if you don't hear and answer my cries.
I am fasting to become a better coworker with you,
and let you know that nothing
matters more to me
than your favor
and your intervention
in the things I am asking of you right now,
in Jesus' name, amen.
