My husband was in the hospital for double knee surgery. He had to learn how to walk all over again, so I drove the 2 hours each day to help with his rehab.

I was FEELING DOWN. I prayed that God would hear me, and send a SIGN OF HELP.

Before leaving the house I grudgingly looked at the mail that had piled up. I knew I had to deal with it. Sitting down, I CAUTIOUSLY opened an ENVELOPE from my mortgage company.

It contained a REFUND check for $1,265!

I was shocked, relieved, but most of all, GRATEFUL that God had HEARD MY CRY in prayer and his angels took care of me.

What could I say but thank you, thank you, thank you!

Expressing GRATITUDE for God’s favor was the best thing Marianne could do. But before that, she OPENED the door to God through PRAYER.

If you're looking to help someone build up their faith, many Godwinkers tell us that "Godwink Stories: A Devotional" is their favorite book to gift to others.
