Well stated! John 15:13 says, "Greater love has no one than this, that he (she) lay down his life for his (her) friends." Although, thankfully, she survived the attack, she was willing to die to save her friends. What a courageous young woman! I have no doubt that her days of praying and fasting, though making her physically weak, strengthened her spiritually to acconplish the task that God had assigned to her.

I have no doubt that her days of praying and fasting, though making her physically weak, strengthened her spiritually to acconplish the task that God had assigned to her.

I had not even considered that aspect of her fast. Very beautifully said!
