Ezra 8:21-23 “Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, & all our goods. For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers & horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king, ‘The hand of our God is for good on all who seek Him, & the power of His wrath is against all who forsake Him.’ So we fasted & implored our God for this, & He listened to our entreaty.”
