There are times when we get calls in the office which make us feel helpless. A client called this week who suffers from a severe mental illness.

There was no physical way that we could help him. All we could do was offer him prayer. Wait a minute-what am I saying. All I could do was bring this need before the Lord of heaven and earth? The God who supplies? The God who cares? The God who loves? We could and did do a great deal.

A man called and was desperate for a place to live. He had no possibilities and had been homeless for some time. Again, there was not much physically that we could do for him. We prayed that God would provide. Within a week he had a place-a cabin on someone else's property-he called us to let us know how happy he was that we took the time to pray.

A woman called who needed an apartment. Again, we prayed that God would intervene. The very next day she called back to report that a miracle had happened and she had a place she could afford.

Not every time that we call do we hear the answers so quickly or dramatically. But, we don't have to. We know God hears and God answers. We don't always see the answer and we don't always understand the answer but we can ask and trust that He knows what He's doing.
