A Prayer Testimony

When I was in Brazil earlier this year I met a young married woman, a friend of a friend. Her husband, son of a church leader, had abandoned her to live in the world. God gave me compassion for her, and along with many others joined in prayer for the situation. Continued to pray after my return to the US. Last Sunday received a text from our mutual friend that the husband had returned, repented before the whole church and they were reconciled and together again I am joyful for them and also very thankful to God for this encouragement to pray. Sometimes we can pray about a situation many times over months, years and even decades and not receive what we hope for. It is a blessing when God responds in a discernible way.
