You are His Child – Be specific in Prayer

            I remembered the teaching after driving many kilometre’s into the forest, I stopped to let our border collie dog run down the long lonely road,    

             As I hurried to join her for our walk, I accidently shut the car door behind me without removing the keys. 

               I began my walk.     I prayed. ‘Father, I need your help.  Please will you help me to find a strong piece of wire.’   I remember I also added ‘it would be helpful if someone could show me how to unlock the car door with it.’      A-Men.    Thank You.    

              We walked for a long time, but I did not find anything to help me unlock the car.

               Approaching the car, a roaring sound behind me caused me to turn around.     

              A helicopter skimmed above the road behind me. A megaphoned voice shouted. “Move your car!      Move your car!  We are burning the forest undergrowth!  Please move your car NOW’. 

              I waved back and after ensuring the terrified dog was safely on her lead, yelled. ‘ I can’t! My keys are locked inside!’ 

           He said something, then turned his machine up and disappeared into the distance.    

           A few minutes later a huge red fire truck pulled up beside me.   Six burly firemen  tumbled out ready to offer support.

            However, it was a teenaged trainee who quietly said, ‘I can fix this.’   Out of his knapsack he produced  

                                                  A piece of fence wire.     

         To the surprise of us all he then with precision and expertise broke into my vehicle.  

          I drove away to well-remembered shouts and cheers.

What an answer to prayer on that day.  I asked for a piece of wire.  I received a helicopter, a fire truck, six firemen, a young man and a piece of wire.  

           Thank you, Lord, for all your answers that surprise us.   Abundant Grace.

            Have a wonderful day as you FOCUS ABOVE!

                                               Blessings!
