In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus gives us the 3 keys to intimacy with God.

Prayer, Fasting and Giving Alms are 3 spiritual disciplines that help us

humble ourselves and become dependent upon God. Food is not the source of

our life nor is it the fuel of our lives, neither is money our source, our

security or our the fuel of our life. When we pray, fast and give alms, we

demonstrate that we are totally dependent upon God and He is our source of

life, He is the fuel of life that keeps us going. Pride wants to steal our

relationship with God...
