Typically, when you see an issue and then you call for prayer, the need is actually greater. The greater necessity is that we need to quit doing life and seeking God only in times of the trouble we see. There are always symptoms before the diagnosis. What if we are so sensitive to the call that we not only pray before the symptoms occur, but we fast in conjunction? What if doing this we never see the diagnosis…does it mean we were off, or can you see the true nature as to why we were called to prayer and fasting?
