But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV)
“Fasting is not first offered to God that we might be paid back because of it. It is first given by God that we might benefit from it and that He might be glorified through it." John Piper
