Answered Prayer

God gave the children a great example of the power of believing prayer this morning...

Fabiola had gotten a new watch a few weeks ago and this morning couldn't find it. Needless to say I wasn't very happy with that news, but didn't say much about it since it was time for our morning Bible Study. We begin our study with prayer everyday and ask who wants to pray, and then allow those who volunteer to pray. This morning Fabiola wanted to pray and when she finished I asked her if she thought it would be a good idea to ask God to help her find her watch. She nodded, but seemed unenthusiastic...I told her it wouldn't do any good to ask if she didn't believe God wanted to help her. She thought for a moment and then said she did believe it and she wanted to ask for help...so she did.

Our Bible Study was about Samson and at the end when he ask God to help him again, we told the children that all they had to do was ask, and God would help. Mauricio said that was just like Fabiola and her watch. I thought that was a neat connection he made...then the study ended.

Fabiola went to her bedroom, where she had previously looked and looked for her watch, and there in plain view....was her watch! What a lesson all learned when they heard of the discovery and how quickly God responded to prayer!
