拉8:21-23
那时我在亚哈瓦河边宣告禁食、为要在我们神面前克苦己心、求他使我们和妇人孩子、并一切所有的、都得平坦的道路。我求王拨步兵马兵、帮助我们抵挡路上的仇敌、本以为羞耻、因我曾对王说、我们神施恩的手、必帮助一切寻求他的．但他的能力和忿怒、必攻击一切离弃他的。所以我们禁食祈求我们的神、他就应允了我们。
Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him." So we fasted and begged our God for this: and he was entreated of us.
主耶稣！以斯拉带领百姓禁食祈求神，承认自身信心的不足。主啊！我们禁食不是借用苦行要博取神的怜惜，乃是在神面前克苦己心，叫身服我，全心归主，全然仰望，倚靠，等等候神的帮助。
