Prayer Answered — Part 2
“Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” (Jeremiah 33:3).
As we walked on toward the parking garage, we decided to cross the busy street at a crosswalk, and continue on down the hill. Just after crossing the street, my friend looked down, and a moment later I saw him stoop and pick something up. To my amazement, it was a parking ticket! I said to my friend, “It can’t be ours.” But it was ours! As we stood there amazed, we looked around, and realized that an hour or more before we had stopped at that very spot to take a picture with his phone, and that it was then that the parking ticket had fallen to the ground. In the meantime, hundreds of people had passed by, and the Lord had kept the ticket safe, allowing us to return to that very place, look down, and find the lost item!
We went on our way marveling at the ways of the Lord, with thankful hearts that He had answered our prayer…not as quickly as we would have liked, but in His time and way, and to teach us valuable lessons, such as learning to trust and “wait on the Lord” (Psalm 27:14). We were also glad that we did not have to pay for a full day’s parking.
