Padjer ansoorit ayns traa gerrid

A prayer answered in a short time.

Roish my nee ad geam nee’m gansoor as choud as t’ad foast loayrt nee’m clashtyn.

Before they call I will answer and whilst they are still talking I will listen.

There was once a lady in much sorrow about a servant that she wasn’t able to deal with for the reason that she was headstrong and doing as she liked. She had once been very kind to the lady, but she gave her too much of own way, and spoilt her, and instead of being kind to her, she became a burden that she couldn’t bear.

She was hired to serve for six more months, but they couldn’t agree, therefore, with a very heavy heart, the poor woman was thinking how how she could get rid of her, until the six months would be at an end. As she was sat one day thinking about this, one of her friends happened to come in to see her, a woman who was a Christian, and she told this friend about the servant and asked her if He would take the servant away from her somehow. How, she didn’t know, but she knew that everything was easy for God. So, she left the matter to him, trusting that her prayer would be answered in a short time.

How fast the answer came! Right after they had been asking God to take up the matter and to give them help, the servant herself came to the mistress, saying that her brother needed a woman to keep house for him, and that she was expecting that the mistress would allow her to go, and to break the promise to stay the six months, but to go on her way at once. I need not say how willing the mistress was to let her go!

Perhaps such insignificant things as this may be reckoned too small by some people to be brought to God in prayer, but is anything too small to take unto him, that brings anxiety to one of his servants? Aren’t our lives made up of little things, and if we wait until we have some big thing to bring to pray about? We would, very likely, wait forever.
