I’m sure we won’t know until we get to heaven how much the prayers on this forum, and our prayers in general, have helped others and us.
But here are just a couple of examples for me personally.
Some here on the prayer wall may remember that, for some weird reasons, though i filed my IRS taxes on time with Turbo Tax and owed nothing, and even had a refund coming, I didn’t get my refund. They ignored my inquiries during that time. But this week they did finally sent the money!
At the same time, again, weirdly, my state sent me a letter, saying that I had not paid my taxes, and that interest was owed! But I had paid them and on time, filing on time through Turbo Tax. They, too, dillydallied. They too ignored my written inquiry, in fact, after I explained to them, with details, that I had paid my taxes, they sent me two more letters, which basically were saying pay up!
In both case when facing the IRS and the state, what power did I have to change anything? I felt all I had was my own prayers and the prayers of others.
But I finally got ahold of someone who said that I had a zero balance, and that a letter to that effect was on the way.
The second issue was about my sister. She has had a history of very verbally abusive behavior, so that no one in the family has really wanted contact with her, except me. And I had gotten so I didn’t want any contact with her either.
I do love my sister, and prayed here on this forum and elsewhere for things to turn out right. For a few years things only got worse, and there was no contact for months.
But recently, she has been acting like a real sister, and we have had some great interactions. Please pray for that to continue.
Blessings to all, and in particular for those who make this forum possible.
