Power of Prayer

A quick little story about my morning. It's ok if you're reading this and thinking "what a geek, this isn't such a big deal..." I know this isn't life altering or earth shattering, but I still thought it was cool and had to share :)

This morning on my way to work I had to stop at McDonalds for coffee (we ran out at home and going without just isn't an option). As I was waiting in line in the drive-thru, there was a girl having problems starting her car. She tried over and over again, each time the smell of gasoline strong, and each time it just wouldn't kick. I felt so bad for her, she looked stressed and she clearly had somewhere to be as she had a trailer hooked to the back. I found myself wishing I had some mechanical skills, but the best I could think to offer was to give it a break or she would 'flood' the engine. This isn't very helpful so instead I just prayed....I asked God to please help this girl and to let her car start. Give it a kick, a quick breath of life, whatever it would take. Within 3 minutes of my prayer I looked up in time to see her driving out of the parking lot.

I always know the power of prayer is strong, but this morning I was able to actually witness it. How cool is that??
