The miracle of fasting

As I sat in the kitchen, I heard my sister and mother talking about fasting for twenty four hours. Out of a natural curiosity, I asked them why they had decided to fast (they have never engaged in fasting before). My sister answered saying "My friends parents, who have been married for like sixteen years, are thinking about separating, they got in a huge fight." Immediately I responded by saying that I would also like to participate. That night at 8:30 p.m, me, my mom, and my sister, would not eat for 24 hours. And every time that we thought of our hunger, it would remind us of the unfortunate seperation and we would pray for them. I would try to get on my knees in full surrender to our Lord in hope that his wonderful grace would be shown on this marriage, and with faith that his will would be done either way. There were several times that day I felt the full spirit of God descend on me and his grace radiate throughout my body. For once, I felt the completeness of full surrender to God. How glorious this was! The next night, we ended our fast and ate somewhat of a late dinner after one more deep prayer with our family. The next day, I found out that the night we ended our fast, EVERYTHING was back to normal and my sisters friends parents were as close as ever in their marriage. God is good!
