Jacob 3 - Pray in Faith

Jacob 3 – How has praying with faith helped you with a trial?


My first experience with "praying with faith" that impacted me was the night I cried mightily to the Lord in my closet in a new home without curtains.  It was my first night alone as a divorced woman and I was scared of two things: One, being in this big home alone, and two, that my ex-husband would return and cause me grief.  I was in my closet for what seemed a very long time praying for help.  When I went to sleep, it was only a short while and I was awakened by the doorbell.  It was my ex-husband of just a few hours.  He had nowhere to go to sleep.  He looked to me as if a stranger who was in need and nothing more.  I had no feelings for him other than pity - maybe appropriate compassion.  He was not inclined to harass me and agreed tot leave in the morning before I awoke, if I would let him sleep on the couch.  Amazingly, that was it.  He did as he said he would and I felt NOTHING for him.  This was truly a miracle and has been the place I go whenever I am troubled with something.  I know the Lord hears our prayers and answers them in His way.  I expected my ex to leave me alone.  Instead, the Lord let me know He has the power to change us from within.  It was a powerful experience.!
