I always know and believe that prayer is powerful in my mind, but recently I have more faith in prayer. I believe God heard my prayer.
First, I am working with a collection agency, so I need to make many phone calls every day to get money back. It is really difficult for me to call people and ask them to pay their debt. I was so afraid to call them, so I tried to pray for each person before I make the calls. I pray for each person in one or two sentences, like ” God, please open his/her heart, let he/she know you, and please let Holy Spirit change their heats, so they want to pay their debts.” I kept praying for each person. Sometimes, it works but not always. Even I prayed before I call them, I still have to face some tough people.
A few weeks ago, I was calling a debtor that she told me to hold for 2 minutes because she was pulling her car. I said okay, I looked all my notes found that I talked with her several times before. Each time she had some requests, we sent the documents she requested and answered all her questions, but she never paid. She said she will pay it since it was only around $30 when I called her last time. However, she didn’t pay it. I called her on 03/13 again, she asked me to hold for 2 minutes. While I was waiting for her, I prayed that hope God can change her heart and let her really pay this time, but she hung up after 1 minute. I was frustrated, I thought she would never pay it and moved on to next account.
However, she called us back after a few minutes. My manager is the one who handles the incoming phone calls, so my manager answered her phone. She said she wants to pay her debts and she even asked my manager to transfer the phone to me. She wants to let me take her payment over the phone because she thought I was very helpful. My manager transferred the phone to me, she was very nice and she asked if I need to get enough money back in a month to get my salary. She wants me to take the payment because she thought it was related to my commissions. Although my paycheck is not depended on how much I collected, I felt so touched by her heart. I was shocked.
I believe that God heard my prayer for her. God listened to my prayer and answered it in such an amazing way. It was the first time that I faced such a nice debtor. I believe it is a blessing from God, cause only God can change people’s heart.
I am so happy and excited after this phone call. I can’t stop praising God! I felt the power of prayer in such a wonderful way. I want to keep praying for everyone who needs prayers!
