Fasting is a sign of humility and repentance, and seeking forgiveness for sins. In the teachings of Jesus Christ, fasting an important subject. Fasting should be done with pure intentions and for the glory of God. We shouldn’t fast to attract attention or gain affirmation from others. In Jesus’ time, many Jewish religious leaders tried to look sad when they fasted so that people would know that they were fasting. But Jesus condemned this type of behaviour and taught his disciples that fasting should be from the heart, not for show. So when we fast, people don’t need to know about it. God Himself knows our intention when we fast, and that is enough.
