It's The Little Things Feedback

Here is a letter that explains how that even the simplest things we ask for, God hears our prayers.
Well, I would like to agree with this sister that God does work in little things. Something did happen to me too. I know it seems funny to other people, but it showed me how God is really faithful in the simplest and sometimes very trivial situations.
On a certain Wednesday, we had a public holiday and I decided to see my parents. I am in college and I stay there. When I told my friends that I was going home, they told me to get something for them, and I told them that I would get them lollipops. We have a grocery at our place. Well I wasn't sure that I was going to manage to buy for all of them, 'cause I didn't have money, and even if my dad was to give me some, there wouldn't have been enough for all of them.
So on my way home, I kept talking to God that my parents should give me a packet of lollipops. The packet does cost a lot of money. I didn't tell anyone at home that I had promised my friends lollies and that I wanted a packet of them.
When I was about to leave, I told my dad that I needed some groceries, and I asked him if I could get some lollies. He said I could get some, but before he told me how many, my mum said I could get five, and then she changed her mind and said I should get ten. Before I even got them, she then said I could actually get a whole packet and it has 40 lollies! She said she will pay for them. When she said that, I screamed Praise the Lord! And I told them that my prayer had been answered. All that time my dad was shaking his head in unbelief. Then my mum said that when we pray we should expect answers. Sooner or later the Lord will always answer if we believe in Him.
Well, though some people find this testimony funny, it taught me to pray and believe, trusting that God will always answer no matter how silly the request seems, as long as it is in line with His Word.
