The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer

It's been 2 weeks that Arin hasn't been to college. When I called, Arin never responded either. Though according to Mia Arin's roommate, Arin is at the boarding house only rarely out.

"Rin, I'm going to your boarding house. I'm on the road, what do you want to bring?"

Sent, before long appeared blue tick.

"Yes, Mel. No need, Mel. Later if it's up to the boarding, chat me yes" reply from Arin

***

"Rin, I'm in front of your room" sent.

Before long Arin's room door opened.

"Rin" my broom

"get in, mel"

Arin is seen watching around, before closing the door again

"Why?"

"nothin. Sit, rin"

"yes. Uh, here I bring you some food. You haven't eaten yet, have you?! We eat together"

"yes, I'll take the plate first"

"yes"

Arin, he's my best friend since we were 2 new students.

Arin has returned with 2 plates, 2 spoons and 2 cups of drinking water. I helped open the package of food I brought.

"take what, mel?"

"gado-gado. I bought it at our grocery store"

"wah delicious. Let's eat"

We eat food in silence.

3 Days later

I just woke up when there was a chat from Arin.

"yes, Rin. I just woke up. Why?"

Just checked blue, Arin called me right away.

"Hello, Rin" I said

"Mel, I now believe that magic exists."

"Last night, after reading the prayer you love, arrived2 there was a text in saying that my debt was paid off. Pas check in the application, it turns out it's really paid off"

"Well, I'm going along with the horror."

"Not only that, this morning the cousin I had asked for a loan if he already had money. Jd he can give me a loan. I'll pay you a mortgage every month"

"When I finished the bed, I found an envelope with 1 million dollars. Though every day I settle, but only this time there is soan" Arin told me excitedly.

"That's a miracle, Rin. God will not give trials beyond the ability of his people, as long as we are patient and sincere in living it."

"yes, mel. I thought God wouldn't help me this whole time"

"Baby Arin, in this life there is all the time. There is a time when we sow, there is a time when we also reap. Maybe your prayers go unanswered now, but still believe God made everything beautiful at the right time"

"Yes, Mel. Thank you for your prayers and advice."

"Yes, Rin"

I'm so happy to hear that. Whereas 3 days ago, Arin was very desperate and full of fear

"On the exam last semester, it's fitting dad's sick. So I borrowed money in online loans smester and kost money. The loan fell into place just a day after my father died. I tried to get a loan, but I couldn't. I'm scared, Mel. I was so often in terror, even they threatened even until there were maki-maki. I'm afraid, if they reach out to Mother. I don't want to make Mother difficult. Debt for the care of the father during his illness has not paid off" Arin's tears flowed profusely while telling stories.

I'm so sorry. If I had the money, I would have helped Arin.

"I prayed for nothing, nothing changed. No one's helping. I've been trying to get a loan, but I can't."

"Patience, Rin."

"I gave up, Rin. It feels like killing myself, but I remember Mother."

"Don't despair, Rin. Keep praying, don't give up."

"Free, Rin. God never heard my prayer"

"Patience, Rin. If your prayer has not been answered, it is because God wants to be closer to you. You may have been praying less all this time. So don't stop praying and keep believing in Him. God's help must come at a wonderful time"
