Fasting and Praying.

Luke 2:36-38.

There was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; She had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

Sharing of the word:

My dear children, we read in the Bible about Prophetess Anna and her life with God.
She was eighty four and she lived in the temple - She fasted and prayed all the time, she never left the temple but worshiped day and night, she loved God so much and she devoted much of her time to God. Her devotion to the Lord made her receive revelation from God when she saw Jesus and she spoke about the child to all who were there.
When we start having relationship and fellowship with God - it helps us to increase in faith, and as a result we will be able to hear the voice of God and pray more effectively.
