God Answers Prayer...

I have an amazing story to share with you!
When I first came to Singapore, I was so blessed to be loaned a mobile to use for my time here. For the past month or so however, it has been not working properly. Finally, on Sunday, it stopped working completely. It was an older phone and I think that it had just run out of life.
I was coming home from spending lunch with some friends. It was about 6pm. I was somewhat frustrated. I do not have the money to buy a new mobile. I really need a phone because I am contacted via text message when I need to do work for YWAM.
So I prayed…
Dear God, I do not know if you can do this. I really need a new mobile. If it is possible, are you able to get me one by the end of the day? Amen
I prayed full of doubt and not expecting the answer I wanted.
When I got home to the YWAM Base where I live, I met with some girls talking. One of them was a girl that I am just starting to get to know. She asked me how my day was and I shared how frustrated I was about my phone and told her about the prayer I had just prayed less than an hour ago. To my surprise, she said, I have a spare phone, would you like to keep it? My heart leapt at these words. Of course, I would love it!
In the end, God answered my prayer by giving me a hardly used and in wonderful condition phone. I did not have to pay a cent. The girl also had the manual for the phone with her. She had bought it from home as a spare one.
God has answered my prayers before, but to have one answered so immediately really touched my heart. It reminded me about how much God really cares for me and for the little things that matter to me!
