Prayer saves the day

Pamela Shaffer

Several years ago, I was working part time in a library and taking night classes. On one day when I had a final exam for one of my classes, I asked to be scheduled to work in the morning so that I would have time for a final review of the material before my exam. The library generally gave me what I asked for when it came to scheduling, and I didn't look at the weekly schedule very closely. So I arrived at work at 9:00 a.m., only to find that I wasn't scheduled until 1:00 p.m. I agreed to return in the afternoon.

When I got home, I was wondering how to get everything done. I also needed to go to the financial aid office at the university, which was only open until 5:00 p.m. I decided to go there first and get my business done. I spent the time I was driving there praying to see that God was in charge and was ordering my day, and that I would be able to accomplish everything that I needed to with His help.

Driving on the freeway I heard a loud bang, and the glass in the window of the door next to me fell into my car. (I found out later that sometimes with older cars, the glass will implode for no apparent reason.) Though I was somewhat shaken up, I was not hurt and continued on my way to school.
