Prayer definitely works and is still working today as it did
thousands of years ago. There are many that have experienced
it's power.

Just when you wonder when are things going to get
better...prayer gets answered! And most of the time it will be
better results than what you imagined! A powerful true
experience of what prayer can do for those who have faith in it
and in God.

I was really getting to the point of utter frustration involving
the numerous business ventures I had invested in over the last
few years.

One of my ventures was my own business as a real estate
photographer and was just starting to market my service. Then
the realtor companies were stating that real estate is booming
and houses were selling without pictures and they were right, it
was the beginning of a real estate boom...not what I wanted to
hear!

After many attempts at trying to get this business going with
little success, I just broke down and prayed out loud to God
telling him that evidently this isn't the work that he had
planned for me. And then I asked him to please show me what he
would like for me to do.

The next day, I was remembering that I had sold a certain
product line in retail quite a few years ago, and really enjoyed
it. So I thought what can I lose by just checking into it again?
Then I called a friend that I hadn't talked to for quite awhile
and she was selling this line and was doing pretty well with it.

After calling her, she said that she was retiring soon, and
referred me to another lady in the business. I then spoke with
her, and we really hit it off over the phone. I had never met
her in my life, but she seemed very nice and helpful. All of a
sudden, in the middle of the phone conversation, she said that
sometime in the early part of next year, she will be retiring
and has quite a few representatives that she makes commissions
on, working for her. She then asked me if I would be interested
in taking them over at that point.

I wanted to shout out my answer, but managed to contain myself
and said I was very interested. After the call had ended...I was
dancing with joy! I thought this is so amazing, especially since
she really didn't even know me.

Then that wasn't all...this next part of my experience is even
more amazing! My Christian friend and her husband whom I had
originally called about this business, had put their house on
the market so they could retire and travel. They had it up for
less than two weeks and received a cash offer for the total
amount they were asking...wow! Then guess what happened
next...she called me and asked if I would take over her customer
base of over fifty regular customers ... WOW! Anyway, I think
you know my answer.

Then I thanked God for his blessing with his answer to my prayer!

So in conclusion, if you are feeling like giving up, and have
been really discouraged with your work or personal life, just
ask God for his help. Then pray daily and give thanks to him
too, have faith, and your prayers will be answered in the way
that is best for you!
