Peace be with you! Allow me to refer to the book of 2nd Chronicles 20 where the king was facing tremendous fear of the oncoming war. He did not take matters into his own hands but instead he looked upon the heavens and ordered that everyone should start fasting. He did this beacause he wanted their prayers to reach the heavens and for the Lord to respond quicker. Fasting is like a sacrifice, the Lord sees your cry and He appreciates that you can deny your body a lot of things so that He can lend you an ear. And as expected, the Lord heard their cry and responded immediately through a prophecy. He said "fear not, that fight is not yours to fight but it is the Lord's". Have a blessed sunday!
