Answered Prayers

by Allison

Just like to share an uplifting story with you all:

This month has been really tight on money for me, and the other day I was at a breaking point. As I struggled to stop worrying and get some sleep, I desparately prayed to God, not a prayer of thanks or praise, but a selfish prayer, a prayer for money.

“Just $50 more would get me through the week…” I prayed.

I visited my mom the next day and as I was leaving, She said to me, “Hold on a minute. I have a surprise for you!”

Apparently she had been putting $1 every week into a Christmas Club bank account for me and my sister. She said she knows how we usually struggle with money right before the holidays, and $1 every week for her wasn’t a lot, but it added up over the course of a year.

The check was for just over $50.

God answers prayers. What prayers have you had answered lately?
