Prayer Answered — Part 1
“Call unto Me, and I will answer thee” Jeremiah 33:3
Yesterday I was in Monaco, that tiny kingdom on the Mediterranean Sea, tucked between France and Italy in the area known as the French Riviera. My Christian friend and I had driven over early that morning from Frejus, France where I was staying, and parked in an underground parking garage so that we could walk around the country and see the sights. I remembered when he took the parking ticket from the kiosk that he put it in the case of his smart phone, and I was a little concerned as he pulled his phone out to use it from time to time during the day.
Returning to the car later that afternoon, my worst fear was confirmed: the parking ticket was gone! My friend remembered taking a picture with his phone a few minutes before, and while I waited and prayed, he retraced his steps, only to return with a disappointed look and the news that he hadn’t found the tag. We concluded that it was carelessness on our part, and, to some degree at least, submitted in our hearts that this was a lesson in the school of God and that we would have to pay for a whole day of parking which would amount to about €30, or around $40, US currency.
