Judgements,1 against which extraordinary prayer is to be made, are such as are threatened, and in that respect to be feared; or executed, and in that respect felt. Against the former,2 the King and people of Nineveh fasted and cried mightily unto God, Jon. 3. 7, 8. Thus was that doom reversed and judgment prevented. The like may be done in a preparation to a judgment before it be put into execution. Haman had prepared a terrible massacre to destroy all the Jews: but before his cruel plot began to be put in execution, Mordecai, Esther, and all the Jews, Fasted three days together (Esth. 4. 16, 17.) Thus the execution of that judgement, so prepared, was prevented.
