Hi everyone! I would like to share my story with all of you. Me and my best friend had misunderstanding and ended our friendship. As a christian person I knew that I have to forgive and forget all the pain that seemed so deep and sharp. In my heart I knew that I had to pray and maybe even fast for that person. I was wrongfuly accused of things that I didn't do and it was very difficult to forgive and more difficult to forget and pray for someone who betrayed my trust. I came across a few web sites that contained articles on " power of fasting". I used to fast before and it always helped in any situation. So I decided to start fasting as much as I could for salvation of my friend. I was fasting for 6 days a week. 3 days , than I ate for 1 day and than fasted another 3 days...I ate only 1 day a week...I did it for about 1 month...I wept and prayed for his salvation day and night but it seemed like God didn't hear me...or didn't want to answer me...Than I suddenly realized that I have to confess all my sins and humble before God more....Than I fasted for 7 days straight ,drinking only water...after that I started fasting 6 days in one week -every week....in 2.5 months my friend called me on my phone and appoligized...He said that he was wrong and that he needed my forgivness...I told him that " I forgive him" and our conversation ended . I kept fasting for another month . He called again and told me that he wanted to talk to me in person. He was shocked to see how skinny I looked ...Barely recognizing me...Tears were dripping down his face...He told me that he changed and that he is close to Jesus now. We became good friends again. This experience of fasting changed me inside out..I became humble, calm, peaceful...
Fasting does wonderful things...With Jesus Christ anything is possible!
