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.!
