Ruth Elizabeth Greenhalgh Cram — Answered Prayer for Sustenance

As a young mother living in the harsh conditions of the Cotton Mission era, Ruth faced a period of extreme scarcity where the family's food supply was nearly exhausted. She recorded that after offering a sincere prayer for the welfare of her children and the means to feed them, an unexpected source of food was provided. This occurred through the sudden and unprompted arrival of a neighbor with supplies, which Ruth viewed as a direct answer to her prayer for divine intervention.
