Beloved Servant
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the various ways that You afford us to reverence to Your Holy Name, especially during this season of The Daniel Fast. Though we understand that abstaining from food is its' criteria; we also recognize that due to various, and very valid reasons (of which You are all-knowing) some cannot participate: Therefore, we Thank You, all the more, that this does not disqualify Your people from reaping the blessings that come through fasting.
Whether it's denying ourselves a meal, or even something as, seemingly extraneous, as refraining from social media, we recognize that the ultimate purpose is, that Your name be glorified, through the intent of our hearts. Yet, no matter the season, we Thank You most of all for taking the time to teach us, Your conclusive criteria for Righteousness fasting:
Isaiah 58: 6) No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. 7) Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. 8) Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.

And so we Thank You LORD for making it plain, particularly in this season of distress.
