I have been reading this passage lately also ... Thank you for the reassurance.. I believe I will read it again during lunch.. I especially like these parts they speak to me so profoundly.

Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?


and Jehovah will guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in dry places, and make strong thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.


God has been speaking to my heart for some time and yet this bondage of relying on food instead of HIM has been a stronghold I have not been able to overcome. I am starting over again today yet usually surcumb to temptations and the FLESH.. I just pray Proverbs 16:3 ... I am committing this fast to GOD. He know I want to get closer to Him and overcome this yoke... Not for Vanity although I do want to loose weight but to have a healthy body which is His temple and to have the confidence to speak to others especially about the wonderful things He has done for my life.. I want to have the energy and endurance to fulfill His Will for my life here on earth.. Its so difficult but DISCIPLINE MODERATION AND SELF CONTROL is something I know can be developed especially through fasting. I usually cant take the sadness I usually get but a friend just told me that those times of sadness is what I can use to get closer and tune in to God...

Sorry for venting.. Sometimes its hard to speak to others about my fundamental reasons which are spiritual renewal and from there the internal wellness and external benefits..


Thank you for listening..
