“If you have been tempted to murmur, if you have had doubts that lead to unbelief, if trials seem more than you can bear, turn to Him.” —Elder James B. Martino, “Turn to Him and Answers Will Come”, and
"Prayer, combined with fasting, will provide so that when we “call, … the Lord shall answer; … [and when we] cry, … he shall say, Here I am.”
Luke 2:36-38
ReplyDelete"36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem."
Here is a righteous woman that is a prime example of how prayers and fasting can make a difference in one's life.
I can attest that fasting and praying has made a difference in my life, helping me to draw myself closer to my Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
