Why Fast?

Zechariah 7:4-5 (NIV)
Then the word of the Lord Almighty came to me:  “Ask all the people of the land and the priests, ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, was it really for me that you fasted?'”

If God asked you if you fasted, and if you fasted for him, what would you answer?

Hopefully, you have a better response than Zechariah’s crowd:

Zechariah 7:11
But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears.
