Prayer and answers

In my life Lord be glorified, be glorified.
In my life Lord be glorified today.

Yesterday my family plus my dad were all packed into the van like sardines. We were headed home from a weekend of camping. It was hot and we were all exhausted from all the fun boating and swimming. About 20 minutes into our 2 hour drive home the van decided to drop all gages and the check engine light goes on. Leaving us to panic about what was going on. My husband pulls over and turns off the van, waits and then turns it back on. The gages still didn't work. We are out in the middle of nowhere with barely any cell service and no money for a two hour tow home. It's Sunday and no shops are open. So we keep driving and I mentally get on my knees and start praying. He gave me peace saying hang on child. I continued to pray and plead with him to help heal the van. His word says that "we have not because we ask not" and I was asking for healing. The Lord be glorified because when I got done praying those words to Him the gages kicked on. Thomas turned to me and asked if I had been praying and indeed I had. We have learned that God works when we let Him. I say the Lord be glorified again because through all of our panic we never went after each other, as we have done in the past. In fact the family really didn't even know there was anything wrong. My children never needed to fear because I went to God first. Relied on him instead of others. In my life Lord be glorified today.
