The Power Of Asking

  • "The Power Of Asking" It had rained a lot and my window was left opened in my van. So the window wouldn't go up or down. I guess the power motor had broken when the water went inside. I was like oh no... It was goona cost me a couple hundred to get it fixed, and I didnt have the money. So every day I would go and try to see if my window button would go up. I went to Home Depot and said "I will buy a clear plastic cover in the meanwhile and tape it up, until I had the money to fix it" So I put the cover in the window and taped it up. I was great! it worked! "So i thought!"I started driving and the cover on the window started to get loose. I'm trying to drive and hold the plastic cover so it wouldn't fall. But it did. I was like oh...no. I had just wasted like $35 + $8 on tape. For no reason. Well it had been 2 weeks without my window working. I was driving to Miami from Orlando and I start seeing gray clouds. I'm like "oh...no it looks like it going to rain" Then as I start driving more and more into those gray clouds it started to get darker and darker. I was thinking in my head" Oh my God there's a storm approaching and my window is down" I kept on trying to turn the button up and down but it wouldn't work. I was driving in the van with my elderly mom and son. So I did the only thing I could do. I started to pray!, I put one hand in my steering wheel and thee other on the window button and said: " God and Jesus I know this window is not working but I need your help. please God and Jesus you know we're going through a storm and my window is not going up. Please help me! please help us. I love you with all my heart I will never get mad at you if you can't I understand, I trust in you...I kept praying and praying. Then I put my finger in the window button. All of a sudden the window starts going up. I became ecstatic. And I tell my son the window! the window!!. It went up. "I prayed to God and Jesus and they both listened" they were all so happy to hear of the power of prayer to trust and believe.Then in my mind I was like: Wow! "did this really happened, did they really do this". Then all of a sudden the window goes back down. So I started to cry and I said: " I'm sorry I'm sorry for even questioning or doubting you in my mind" Then all of a sudden the window just went up. I then realized that their listening to all our problem. God and Jesus can really move mountains. Just stay in faith. Ask, Believe, and Receive. Thanks to God and Jesus we were able to go through the storm with our window up, and get to Miami safe. Till this day my window works perfectly without having to have waisted a penny. Thank you God and Jesus.
