There was a story I heard about a woman that about brought me to tears. This woman's life in the past year is unbelievable and is living proof we all need to trust God completely.
One day a woman, we will call her Faith, was out walking her dog like she does everyday. She tripped on a broken piece of sidewalk and fell flat on her face. As her face fell on the cement she could here her teeth shattering, jaw braking. She done major bridge damage, busted all her teeth, and sliced open her lip. That added up to a total cost of $8,000 not including medical bills.
She didn't have money to fix her teeth so she just had to leave them. While in the hospital for her accident she discovered she had a bowl obstruction. All she could think of was more money. Faith received phone calls from medical bills all over the place. When she answered all she said was "I can't afford to pay the bill unless we have a payment plan."
Faith knew God must have been helping her with something because everyone who called accepted the payment plan. Through this time she kept praying and asking God "God why have you allowed this to happen to us? Where are you? I'm not sure we can take anymore of this." God answered her and said "I'm right here with you. It will be OK."
When Faith went to turn to her husband he just said "It's OK, God will take care of it." She wished she had the strength her husband had. If they hadn't been through enough already Faith's husband had to go in for a stress test, as anyone with heart disease has to do. Faith's husband had to be taken in to the hospital. His blood pressure was over 250. Again, all Faith could do was think more money!
Her husband still said "God will take care of it." Faith finally broke down. After adding up the total from all medical bills they had it was up to $15,000. She cried out to God "God, I can't take much more. Where are you? Why are you allowing these things to happen? When will you get us out of this mess?" God's answer surprised her! He said "I'm right here! I've been here the whole time! Now, will you trust me completely?"
At that very moment Faith completely trusted Go. Then things started to happen! When she received her bills in the mail some of them were already paid. She sent payments in the mail and the money came back. Some bills' totals' were lower then they used to be. She realized that God was behind all this. She didn't know how this happened, but she was glad that God was taking care of them. He was so filled with joy that Faith had totally trusted him he blessed them. He took care of his child.
My friends, this story of this woman, Faith, is a perfect example. She was at her wits end, feeling like giving up. But she still prayed and prayed, and put all her trust, belief, and faith into God. Look at the wonderful reward she got!
Rely on God even if you feel you can't. You will find the most amazing rewards in the end!
