an everyday miracle

You may not think of this as a miracle, but I do. This morning when my husband went to take a shower no water came out. Oh no we both thought. The pipes have frozen and now they are going to bust if they haven't already and it's going to cost a fortune to fix it. We don't have the money for that. What are we going to do? Thinking the worst our day was off to a bad start. After my husband left for work I decided that I was not going to let this happen. Unless it was God's will ofcourse. I put into action what I call my own little prayer chain. I posted on facebook and twitter asking people to pray. I called Moody radio asking to be put on their prayer list. I called my best friend in Jesus and put her on speaker phone and asked her to pray aloud in my house. And most importantly I took the time to kneel at my bed and talk to God myself, giving him my full attention. I know he was listening because for once my 17 month old kept quite. I prayed and asked God for his will to be done, but if that including sparing us a busted pipe, that would be wonderful. Yes this may sound like a lot of whoop-de-do about nothing but to us it would have been a big deal to hire a plumber to fix our pipes. But God listened. Some people might say that it's just a silly coincidence but I know when God is listening and I know when he is looking out for me. I don't know how many people actually prayed for us. Maybe it was just me and my friend Linda. What I do know is we have running water and no broken pipes. Thank you Jesus. It may be a small miracle but I believe it is one just the same.

God listens to us pray. We are never ever alone. We are not subject to the whims of the universe. We are subjects of God. He can turn a circle into a square. He can divide a sea, make manna fall out of the sky, turn a small portion of food into enough to feed an army, He can create a storm and calm it. He can save a life. He can certainly save some old pipes. Our God is an awesome God. There is nothing he can't do. That doesn't mean he is going to grant all your "wishes". But he does listen to us pray.
