When You Think There Is Not An Answer

 

… The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

James 5:16

Many years ago friends of mine were in dire financial shape. The husband had an industrial injury and was off work for months, leaving the family without income because the company he worked for fought his disability claim. They struggled to pay their bills.

Their monthly house payment was $400.00, which at the time was a lot of money, but every month they somehow came up with the cash to make the payment. The couple credited God’s blessing on them that they were able to do this. One month, they had no idea where they would get the money to make the house payment. Then the wife’s parents, who had never given them a dime, sent a check for $300.00. My friend said she prayed and thanked God for the money, and added that it was not quite enough to make the payment.

The next day she received letter from Publisher’s Clearing House Sweepstakes stating that she was a winner; enclosed was a check for $100.00.

That is the way it is with God. When we pray and we do not see any way that a problem can be resolved, God has already got it covered. He is just waiting for us to ask.

Prayer can accomplish much.
