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. 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.
- Isaiah 58:6-7

Father, press into me the devotion You actually desire - the kind that loosens bonds, feeds the hungry, and welcomes the homeless. Free me from a religion of appearances and create in me a faith that acts.
