Matthew 5:23–24
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the alter. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.”

Fasting is not only about denying our bodies, it’s also about aligning our hearts. Jesus teaches that worship is incomplete when reconciliation is ignored, and Paul reminds us that unresolved anger, bitterness, and division grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30–32). During this fast, God may reveal relationships that need healing or forgiveness that needs to be released.Today, pause and listen to the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to show you where reconciliation is needed whether in forgiving someone or humbly seeking forgiveness yourself. Let your worship continue as you respond in obedience.
