Ezra:8:21-23

Seeker Overlay ON

* Then I proclaimed a fast there , at the river of Ahava , that we might afflict ourselves before our God , to seek of him a right way for us , and for our little ones , and for all our substance . * For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way : because we had spoken unto the king , saying , The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him ; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him . * So we fasted and besought our God for this : and he was intreated of us .
