In The Time Of Need I Am Not Alone

I recently misplaced an envelope that had my savings in it. I didn't have much to begin with but have been saving since last year to rent a bigger home for my children. This savings also would help me with paying bills monthly. I searched high and low and practically destroyed my house looking for it. After 3 days straight not only did I pray to find it, I went online and found the prayer to St. Anthony, I have never prayed for his assistance before. I was so desperate and needed divine intervention, the thought of loosing everything made me physically ill and overwhelmed. I kept checking the same places over and over, under items and in them, pulled out all my clothing, searched my vehicle a hundred times. Nothing was working even called stores where recent purchases where made. As I begged and prayed unfortunately I wasn't hearing much of anything other than my own worry and same search locations. The fourth day in lack of sleep and a house turned upside down, I prayed the St. Anthony prayer repeatedly as I searched all over again. As I sat down on my sofa and began to cry, I looked over at my glass tv stand and noticed one of my mirror glass boxes sitting on top was slightly lifted. I had searched this area a million times and so did my kids. Since the box is mirrored it's empty and only for decorations. I decided to move the whole case over and there it was, I couldn't believe it. My heart immediately rejoiced, I got on my knees crying in happiness and told St. Anthony and the Lord I am forever grateful. Money is money and can eventually be replaced but I have struggled with loosing work, divorce, and my home within the last couple of years. This was everything I was counting on for my children, the bigger lesson I got was, in the time of need I am not alone, prayers do get answered.
