FASTING AND PRAYING

My sister, Emily just shared with me a time when she fasted and prayed. Let me share it with you.

My family is going to Florida for vacation on Saturday, and Emily REALLY wanted a bathing suit that she saw online. It was really expensive, though. So Emily prayed that the price would go down, and fasted from reading one night, and prayed instead. The next day, she saw that the price for the bathing suit had gone down by 5 dollars.

And she's only 10.

WHAT an example to me! I need to take prayer more seriously!

    That is way cool! God does listen to our prayers and appreciates it when we take time from what we like to do to talk to Him!
