In this season of prayer and fasting, let us delight ourselves in the Lord. Let us enjoy being in the presence of God, communicating with Him through prayer and reading His word. Let us increase our hunger for more of God by our fasting from our daily necessities and focusing on Him as our sustainence, our everything.
If we are able to fast in the correct attitude, that is to seek, please and glorified Him, look at the amazing things that God will be for us. These are by-products of a right relationship with Him:
"Then your light will break out like the dawn,
And your recovery will speedily spring forth;
And your righteousness will go before you;
The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. "Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
You will cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.'
If you remove the yoke from your midst,
The pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness, And if you give yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
Then your light will rise in darkness
And your gloom will become like midday. "And the LORD will continually guide you,
And satisfy your desire in scorched places,
And give strength to your bones;
And you will be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. "Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
You will raise up the age-old foundations;
And you will be called the repairer of the breach,
The restorer of the streets in which to dwell. (Isaiah 58:8-12 NASB)
