We recently bought an investment property. After
over a month without a tenant, I decided to go to the house and do nothing but
pray to ask God to provide a tenant in his own time. For almost an hour I
prayed and played Gospel music. The next
morning I got a call from the real estate agent that we had an application. I
was thrilled and called my husband who was away at the time. We again prayed
and thanked God for answering our prayer. We were told to wait for an
application later that day and decide if we were going to accept the
application.
When the application arrived, we found that the family had six kids
and only one bread-winner, who was in employment for only three months. We
looked at the application and asked God whether this was the answer to our
prayer or should we wait for another application. That night we talked about
the power of prayer and how God had sent us a tenant. We decided that we were
not going to question God, we looked at it that maybe we were an answer to
someone else's prayer. We looked at this family with six kids with the youngest being two. We also put ourselves in their shoes, how when we migrated to Australia it
was difficult to find a rental property and we have four kids. So we thanked God
for answering our prayer. We decided not to question him. This family moved in
over the weekend and we can't thank God enough.
