Esther

Most everyone is familiar with the book of Esther. Prayer and fasting saved the nation of Israel from destruction. Let me repeat: the prayers and fasting of Esther and her people saved the nation of Israel .

Esther said to her people: "Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish." (Esther 5:16)

We see a similar situation in the book of Jonah.  The entire city of Nineveh was spared from destruction when they all prayed and fasted.  (Jonah 3:7-9)  All the people of Nineveh including the animals fasted.  Now that is unity - they were in one accord.  This is the greatest revival recorded in the Old Testament.  Imagine an entire city confessing their sins with humble and penitent hearts before the Almighty God.  Yes, God saw a people who were humble and He spared them from destruction.
