Pray Specifically

 

 

Week of April 1 (no fooling)

 

 She is introduced as Ms Julie. You don’t use last names when you are running from an abuser. She rode a bus to Florida with one suitcase and the clothes on her back. She had been directed to a shelter. She obtained a job waiting table at a restaurant within walking distance of the shelter.  

 

 

 

"What I really needed was a car to go on interviews and find a better job. So I prayed very specifically for a four-door Camry (she had had one once) so I could take people to church with me. I wanted a clean beige or brown car.

 

"A few days later I received a call from a caring organization that donates used cars to needy people. They had heard of my plight and called to say they had a car for me.

 

“When I arrived to pickup my car I was told the donor had taken it to a car wash. A few minutes later a car entered the parking lot and I knew it was a gift from God. It was a sparkling beige four-door Camry and it was clean.”
