Faith

Do you have faith? Could you/would you pray for something like money? I'm not talking about praying for a job to earn money. I'm talking about just praying for money-just because. Last Sunday the pastor's sermon was from Genesis 24. Abraham has sent his servant to get a wife for Isaac. The servant prays that God will grant him a certain scenario so he will know this is the right girl for Isaac. God answers his prayer while he is still praying. Later the servant says that while he was on the way God led him. I got to thinking about that. Would I pray for something specific like that and would God grant that request? The Bible says if we have faith like a grain of mustard, we can move mountains. I guess the US Postal Service can be my mountain. So I prayed. I was honest. I told God that I didn't have enough faith to pray for something big, but I wanted to pray for something small. Since my husband is self-employed in a new business, finances are extremely tight so I asked God to send some money in the mail on Monday to help pay some bills. This was Sunday afternoon so God would have had to answer this before I asked it. Monday afternoon when the mail ran there was a letter for me with money. I laughed out loud. God knew that I needed that little reassurance. He is still there and in control. He will supply my need and some wants,too. Truly, it was a situation of Him answering before I asked.
