A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller. Part 4
Müller, George
Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
Aug. 3, Saturday. With the 12s. we began the day. My soul said: "I will
now look out for the way in which the Lord will deliver us this day
again; for He will surely deliver. Many Saturdays, when we were in need,
He helped us, and so He will do this day also."--Between nine and ten
o'clock this morning I gave myself to prayer for means, with three of
my fellow-labourers, in my house. Whilst we were in prayer, there was a
knock at my room door, and I was informed that a gentleman had come to
see me. When we had finished prayer, it was found to be a brother from
Tetbury, who hail brought from Barnstaple 1l. 2s. 6d. for the Orphans.
Thus we have 1l. 14s. 6d., with which I must return the letter-bag to
the Orphan-Houses, looking to the Lord for more. Evening. In the
afternoon one of the labourers received 6s. for himself, which he gave
for the Orphans. This evening I went to the usual prayer meeting, (which
is held on Saturday evening at the Orphan-Houses, to ask the Lord's
blessing upon the work generally), when I found that 2s. had been put
into the boxes in the Orphan Houses in the course of the afternoon; also
7s. had come in by the knitting of the Orphan-Girls, and 3s. 6d. more
one of the labourers was able to give. Thus we hail 2l. 13s., which was
enough for today. How very kind of the Lord thus to listen to the
prayers of His children, and to help us day by day!--We had not yet
separated, after our prayer meeting, when a box was brought from
Scarborough, containing 5s. and a number of articles. When I came home I
found that there had come in still further, by sale of articles given
for the purpose, 15s. 10d., and by sale of stockings knitted by the
Orphans, 7s. 8d. Thus the Lord has greatly helped us today.
Aug. 5, Monday. There came in from A. A. 1s., and anonymously was
yesterday put into the Chapel-boxes 2s. 6d., ditto 2s. 6d.
Aug. 6. Without one single penny in my hands the day began. The post
brought nothing, nor had I yet received anything, when ten minutes after
ten this morning the letter bag was brought from the Orphan-Houses, for
the supplies of today.--Now see the Lord's deliverance! In the bag
I found a note from one of the labourers in the Orphan--Houses,
enclosing two sovereigns, which she sent for the Orphans, stating that
it was part of a present which she had just received unexpectedly, for
herself. --Thus we are supplied for today. In the afternoon, when I had
now again nothing at all in hand, as I had paid out this 2l., there was
brought to me from Oxford 1l. 2s. A sister also gave 2s. 6d.
