The document discusses fasting and prayer based on passages from the Bible. It states that when fasting, one should not do so visibly to gain praise from others but rather should wash their face and put oil on their head so it is not obvious to others that they are fasting. Any fasting or prayer should be done sincerely and privately before God rather than for show. The Bible encourages making time each day to pray alone with God and to continue meeting with other believers to encourage one another in faith.

2. Matthew 6:16-18 NIV
16 When you fast, do not look somber as
the hypocrites do for they disfigure
their faces to show men they are
fasting. I tell you the truth, they have
received their reward in full.
17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and
wash your face,
18 so that it will not be obvious to men
that they are fasting but only on your
Father, who is unseen; and your Father
who sees what is done in secret, will
reward you
