Praying and Fasting

 

 

 

 

Two months after Grant and I lost our little baby August, due to miscarriage, we fell pregnant again.

 

 

I was in the second trimester and had a huge bleed. All sorts of complications and we were just sure we lost this baby that was in my belly.

 

 

We cried all night until we went to the doctor.

 

 

Grant held my hand as we looked for a lifeless little baby on the screen. We cried again. And much harder.

 

 

 

I didn't want to look on the screen because I knew this image would be in my mind forever and ever.

 

 

But, I wanted to see my baby for last time of course, too. Until Heaven.

 

 

 

"I see a wiggly baby with a healthy heartbeat!" Exclaimed the woman doing my sonogram.

 

 

 

We cried and thanked God.

 

 

 

They did find a hemorrhage that occurs in a small percentage of pregnancies.

 

What made my hemorrhage even more rare and unique though, was the size.

 

 

The nurse who worked with high risk patients for over 10 years, told us to our face that she had never seen one even close to that size. I was basically given a "wait and see" outcome. Not very exciting. At all.

 

 

 

 

 

I felt the need to fast, but since I was pregnant, that wasn't healthy for me at the time.

 

 

 

I felt a strong calling on my heart though that someone needed to fast.

 

 

 

 

Who though, Lord?

 

 

Grant? no.

 

My mom? no.

 

Rhonda? no.

 

Brooke? no.

 

Who then, Lord?

 

 

 

 

He told me in my spirit to ask my very new sister in law, Morgan.  

 

Her and Gabe had been married about 3 months at that point.

 

 

 

Well, it says in the Bible that certain things will not come about unless you pray AND fast.

 

 

 

This was one of those times.

 

 

 

 

God not only kept little Jack Gannon safe in my belly until he came out later that year, but He also answered special prayers Morgan had been needing answered.

 

 

 

God works in wonderful ways and I am so thankful that my sister in law was willing to pray and fast for my little unborn baby. Her nephew.

 

 

I can't wait to tell him all about it one day, Morgan.

 

 

 

 

What are you needing answered? Have you prayed and prayed and prayed?

 

 

Try praying and fasting.

 

 

God will answer you!

 

 

Pray the prayer of faith!

 

 

That's how you'll see things done!

 

 

 

 

Have a great and blessed day.
