According to the Word of God, we need to fast. It's not about losing weight, that is the wrong reason. It is about putting your flesh down into submission to the Spirit of God. Isaiah 58:6-7, 10-11. God wants us to take care of the hungry and the needy, the poor. Especially those who can't pay you back. Fasting is good for us. Galatians 2:20.

No royal road
Matthew 26:40
There is no royal road, or easy way when it comes to walking this road with the Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 26:40. We need to spend time with Him in order to be strengthened. Time in prayer and worship and in the presence of God. Jesus promised that He would walk with us on the road to Heaven.
Expectation
Psalm 62:5
Psalm 62:5. Who are you expecting to show you the way in life? We need to get our direction from God alone. God will not fail us when we go to Him. Sometimes we don't hear Him because we are doing all the talking and not really listening. We need to go and find a quiet place, open our hearts and minds to Christ and listen.
Just receive
Isaiah 55:1, Matthew 7:7
Isaiah 55:1. Matthew 7:7. In the Kingdom of God, we need to learn to humble ourselves and accept the free gifts God offers us. We mustn't allow pride to prevent us from asking and receiving from God. Work hard, but when someone wants to give you a gift, you can receive it. Like little children would, we can just say thank you.
