A Mini Miracle Follows
Nicole wrote: I get out of the pool after practice and I go to my bag to get my keys so we can leave... My keys aren't in the pocket with my phone and my wallet, so I check my shallow pockets on the front of my pants, not there either. So I take everything out of my bag, shaking it all out to find them, nothing. I run through the locker room, and look to see if I had dropped them. Nothing. I check the front desk, still nothing. I go to the guard room to see if they had picked them up, nope. So I go back to my bag, as my friend is walking out of the boys locker room, wracking my brain trying to think of where I had put them. The only other place I could think to look were the key slots in the car to unlock it. I send my friend out there, and I feel panic start to enter my head. So right in front of my bag I say a prayer to God asking him to help me find my keys so I can get home. I then proceed to check the places again. The first place I check is my pants, the front left pocket where I had checked three times prior, but I thought why not once more. I reached into my pocket, and it was somehow deeper (like a boys pocket) and my keys were there. I sighed in relief and said a prayer of thanks. I'm just so grateful that that miracle follows a prayer from a person who needed one. I know God answers prayers. I know He listens to us.
Elder Fleming replied: Wow, those are awesome miracles! I love miracle stories! I think that it's amazing that sometimes things like losing keys can build our faith so much. It's like in Alma 36:6 (I think) that says through small and simple means, great things are brought to pass. How amazing is it that through losing keys, or calling a friend or saying a prayer can have so much help! I think that's incredible! When I look at my mission--the progress I've made, or the things I've done I realize most of them were just small and simple things that I did, but through those small and simple things, God could work such huge miracles. :) I love that scripture. :)
