“When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting, That became my reproach.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭69‬:‭10‬

In this Psalm of David, he cries out to God. While David is mourning and fasting people around him were making fun of David.

What can I learn about fasting from this passage.?

• Mourning and fasting can be a personal action before the Lord.
• Others may not understand our fast to the Lord.
• Others may mock or ridicule us in fasting.

Lord, I don’t fast for others, but to You alone. Help me to ignore others reactions and focus on the purpose before me.
