• The Prayer of Two Friends

  Fasting Prayers Answered

  

  Just after the chief and I celebrated our first anniversary, we found out that we were expecting our first child. Yay for firsts! Right?

  There was one thing that made it bittersweet. Our best friends in the world had been married for four years. For three years they had been trying to get pregnant and hadn't been able to.

  When I shared my news with her she was happy for me and hugged me sweetly. It was also then that we agreed to fast and pray together. She was sharing in my joy and more than anything I wanted to share in hers!

  God heard the prayers of two young friends! Our daughter was born in April and their son was born in August!

  I believe that through her willingness to rejoice in my blessing even when she hadn't received hers and our agreement in prayer and fasting together that God granted our request.  After all, it happened time and again in scripture (Leah and Hannah).
