The story is told about a black woman who was in trouble many years ago in the days of slavery. Her 16-year-old daughter was about to be sold on the auction block.
The mother bowed her head and prayed, “Dear Lord God, if You were in trouble as I am in trouble, and I could help You as easy as You could help me, I would do it!”
This story is a historical fact; a U.S. Senator was present. The senator’s 15–year-old son was with him, and when the boy saw them pulling this girl away from her mother, and he saw their tears, he ran to his father and said, “Daddy, loan me $10!” The senator gave him the $10. And the boy ran to the auction block.
Before anybody else could start bidding, he said, “I will bid $10.” (Ordinarily, $200 would have been a low opening bid, but everybody was so thrilled at what he was doing that nobody else would bid.)
The boy bought the girl for $10. Taking the bill of sale, he matched right over and handed the girl back to her momma.

Remember, God never let’s His people down! When you pray to God, God responds the same moment, and answers your prayers immediately if you are His child. But you have to play a part to see what you have prayed for become physical; you have to believe you have got it and refuse to doubt in your heart whether your prayer was answered or not, because it was answered.
Always Remember These Words of Jesus:
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?” (Matthew 7:7-11)
“Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever you desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” (Mark 11:24)
