"We were both filled with joy"

"In the summer, my son and I were on the way to Chessington and to pass the time we began to play the game of finding yellow cars.

We got all the way to Chessington village and neither of us had found a single yellow car, so I encouraged him that we should pray about it because God loves to let us know he is listening and that he cares about the small details of our lives. I prayed a simple prayer ‘Dear God, please show us a yellow car’.

Seconds later, I saw a bright yellow van in a drive way. My son was so excited but didn’t see it himself, so I encouraged him to pray and he did: ‘Dear God, please show us a yellow car’.

Seconds later, on my son’s side of the car, a bright yellow VW Beetle came into view. God had answered our prayers and we were both filled with joy. I explained to him that this was such a special moment and that from now on, whenever he sees a yellow car, he can remember God loves him and hears his prayers.

Just as I finished saying this we drove past a car park filled with around 30-40 cars and vans - every single one of them bright yellow! God’s love for us, and his sense of humour are incredible. Now, we see yellow cars all the time and are constantly reminded that He hears us and cares for the small details of our daily lives."
