The Common Grouchy Wife Phenomenon on e5 Wednesday

I wanted to share a story with you after reading your reminder email and tips for fasting. I started fasting with E5 about five or six months ago, and the first three months I was having a VERY difficult time. The problem was my wife, the person I was praying for as I fasted. Those first three Wednesday's I would go to work and fast and pray throughout the day on behalf of my wife and when I returned home she would be in a terrible mood. She was angry and short tempered with me and our children. After the third month I thought this fasting and praying is NOT worth it if my wife is in a bad mood every time I do it. On the fourth Wednesday, I decided to try one more time and if I got the same result I was going to give up. The day was a little better, but not much and I was feeling like a failure when my wife said to me "thanks for fasting and praying for me today, and boy the devil must really HATE that you are doing this because I have a terrible time and treat you and kids poorly every time you fast." That one sentence hardened my resolve and my fasting and prayer on the first Wednesday has been much better ever since. I felt I needed to share my story after reading in your email about Satan putting blocks in our way. Thanks for your help and devotion to this wonderful spiritual cause.

God Bless,
