Christine’s Deliverance from Despair through Prayer

“There had been nights when Teddy could not sleep and had cried and cried for Mother and Daddy, and had wanted things Christine could not buy for him; and only their prayers relieved him of his distress. One night, when the pain in his wrist was particularly severe, and the little family was in great pain and financial distress, they lacked the funds to pay for the doctor bills or for the things the children needed. Christine knelt by the bed and prayed, and as she prayed, a great peace came over her. She felt that the Lord knew their needs and that He would provide. The next day, a neighbor came to the door with a gift of money, and the doctor, who had heard of their situation, offered to treat Teddy without charge. Christine knew that her prayers had been answered, and she felt a deep sense of gratitude for the Lord's care.”
