Tertullian, On Fasting Chapter 7
“Thus a God-ward fast is a work of reverential awe: and by its means also Hannah the wife of Elkanah making suit, barren as she had been beforetime, easily obtained from God the filling of her belly, empty of food, with a son, ay, and a prophet.” — editor's note: See 1 Sam. i. 1, 2, 7–20; iii. 20 (in LXX. 1 Kings).
