One of my favorite stories is of the man who fell into the ocean and prayed to be saved…Along came a log, but he didn’t grab it because he was sure God would rescue him…Soon a floating, discarded cooler passed by, but he let it pass as God was going to save him…Then a partially inflated tubing tire appeared, but he still let it pass because God was going to save him. It was about this time, he drowned.
At the pearly gates, Peter inquired, “Why didn’t you take the help that was offered?”
Incredulously the man said, “What help? I prayed and prayed, assured God would save me and here I am. No boat, nothing.”
Peter smiled and said, “Did you not see the log? The cooler? The tire?”
Moral: help comes in many forms – be open, be flexible, be ready.

Did you know if this is something that works over night or does it take a bit for it to work?
