How often do you hear people say in a careless way, I prayed for it, but my prayer was never answered. Now, I am writing this little book to give you an understanding that a true prayer is not without an answer and also to show you many ways a prayer has been answered in a very short time. God hears prayer at all times, but he reserves the right of answering them in his own way and in his own time.

In a part far from the dwellings of other people, in one of the islands of Scotland, there was a young lady living with her father a few years ago, and she was very religious. Everything that was giving her discord or comfort, she brought all in prayer to God, and by this means she had many stories to tell how God listened and gave an answer to her prayers.

One day the parish priest came to take dinner with her father and herself, and she decided to give a £5 note to him to help him to do the good works he was resolved to go about. She had folded the note carefully, but before she gave it to the priest she went down wandering to the beach, through the forest where there were too many leaves falling off the trees to tell.

Whilst she was walking in the forest she lost the note, by some misfortune, and she went to look for it, after she came to the house it wasn’t to be found. Then she was very sorrowful and wondering what she had done with it. In her sadness she looked to the Mighty God that was above her, to help. And she prayed that he would lead to the place where she had lost the note, then she began to look for it in the forest, although it seemed impossible to her to find the note amongst thousands of leaves of the same colour, and folded so carefully, that she would be able to find it again.

Nevertheless, a faithful prayer had gone up and an answer had to come down, and although the dark of nightfall was falling over the forest, the lady found the note in a short time and she came to the house thanking her Father in Heaven from the bottom of her heart, because he heard and answered the prayer.
