Mr. Robinson,
I just now heard about your need for prayer, and was thrilled to be able to do that for you. I do hope you feel the prayers and are experiencing the answers.
The Lord is so good, and He so often gives us more than we ask for. So, that is what I have prayed for you...that He would give you much more than you asked for.
Did you ever read Gracia Burnham’s book? She was one of the missionaries who was kidnapped by Muslim terrorist in the Phillipines, a few years ago. She told a story about losing faith...not thinking God was listening to their prayers, and so she refused to pray anymore. Her husband assured her that God was still listening, but that he obviously wanted them to go through this experience for some reason. She was adamant that God did not hear them. So she told her husband she was going to ask God for something really hard. If he was listening, and still cared about them, He would do it. Deep in the jungles of the Phillipines, where they seldom had food to eat, she asked God for a hamburger! Sure enough, a short time later, their captors brought them a bag of hamburgers, from a fast food resturant!
“.....you don’t have what you want, because you don’t ask God for it.” James 4:2
I once read the biography of Darlene Deibler, a missionary who spent 4 years as a prisoner during WWII, in the jungles of New Guinea, at a Japanese prison camp. She was starving, and asked God one day, if it would be possible for Him to please send her a banana. Soon, 100 bananas were thrown in her cell! She cried that she had doubted God’s ability—and yet He gave to her abundantly.
I myself, had been told that I had a deadly form of Cancer. Prayer went out for me, and I prayed that the surgery would go well. During the prep for the surgery, it was found that in fact, I DID NOT have cancer!
A few years ago, I needed $5000. I prayed earnestly for this money. Went online to my bank account, sure that I would be overdrafted...but instead I had an extra $20,000. in there!!! I was sure it was a banking mistake-—but after much examination, it was found that my employer gave out an unannounced bonus!
I am sure that all of us who believe, know how good God is, in helping us in small things. Who of us doesn’t pray that he will help us find our keys....and soon, there they are?!
God is there in small things; and He is there in big things. I pray for big things to happen to you.
