So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
(Daniel 9:3)

The sermon today was about fasting....mostly the way and the motives behind the fasting, not the actual act.  And it doesn't have to be food....you can fast from anything that takes you away from God.....everything from Internet use to watching TV.  I'll be fasting soon.....but it will be between my God and me, no one else.
