Sometimes, God answers our prayers with a sense of humor. Check out our favorite funny stories<\/a> of when God showed up and see why \u201cHe that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.\u201d (Proverbs 15:15)<\/p>\n

An Unlikely Answer to Prayer<\/strong>
\nOur house is on a large plot of land surrounded by tall pine trees. It\u2019s beautiful, but it comes at a price. The needles carpet everything, and pine cones fall more often than rain. It\u2019s a big problem for our rain gutters, which quickly become clogged. My husband, Butch, and I are uncomfortable climbing a ladder, so we used to hire a handyman, Dennis, to clean our gutters several times a year. He always did a great job. When he retired, we were at a loss. \u201cWhere will we find someone like Dennis?\u201d Butch asked. \u201cMaybe we should pray on it?\u201d I suggested.<\/p>\n

Days later, I glanced out the window as a shower of pine cones came tumbling down. I thought nothing of it until Butch and I drove out of the garage hours later. Thwack, thwack, thwack!<\/em> Pine cones rained down onto the hood. We looked up to see the source\u2014and caught eyes with a squirrel! He\u2019d been rooting around in the gutters, dislodging pine cones as he went. We laughed. Though he was a little smaller and furrier than expected, here was the gutter cleaner we\u2019d prayed for. \u2014Sandra Guthrie, Virginia Beach, Virginia<\/em><\/p>\n

Quarters from Heaven<\/strong>
\nMy husband, Tim, and I were headed to our car after a delicious steak dinner when the subject of Grandpa George came up. Tim\u2019s beloved grandfather had enjoyed nothing more than a good steak. And a good practical joke. \u201cWhenever my grandma scolded me, Grandpa George would stand behind her and make funny faces,\u201d Tim said. \u201cOne time he told me tuna made the best bait. So the next time we went fishing, he tied a can of tuna to the line!\u201d I couldn\u2019t help but laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I\u2019d known him,\u201d I said. \u201cWhen did he pass away?\u201d Tim scratched his head. \u201cHow could you forget that?\u201d I teased. \u201cYour own grandfather!\u201d \u201cWell, let\u2019s see,\u201d Tim said. \u201cIt was either 1969 or 1970….\u201d PING!<\/em> I glanced down. A quarter had fallen at our feet<\/a>. No one else was near us in the parking lot. Where in the world had it come from? Tim picked it up. \u201cMinted in 1970,\u201d he said. Tim paused, then cracked up. \u201cIt was 1970,\u201d he said, looking up at the sky with a big grin. \u201cThanks, Grandpa George!\u201d \u2014Ellen Clairmont, Grass, Michigan<\/em><\/p>\n

A Prayer Answered\u2014with Emphasis<\/strong>
\nI flipped open my book of devotions to a random page. Between my husband\u2019s job being in jeopardy and my own troubles at work, I was in need of some spiritual guidance<\/a>. Perhaps God would point me to a passage I needed to see. A verse jumped off the page: Isaiah 40:31. \u201cThey that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength,\u201d it read, \u201cthey shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.\u201d Not the guidance I was looking for. I needed answers, maybe even a solution. I wanted another verse, but before I could turn the page, I heard a thud and our cat screeching. \u201cMe-oooow!\u201d Now what had she gotten into?<\/p>\n

I ran toward the commotion, only to find one of the shelves of our new bookcase on the floor. The cat must\u2019ve been checking it out. A single book lay open. Something on the page caught my eye. There, in bold print, the author had quoted the very same verse I\u2019d just read: Isaiah 40:31. All right, Lord. I get it.<\/em> I guess when God wants to give a message, He makes sure it gets delivered. \u2014Christina Friberg, Thornton, Colorado<\/em><\/p>\n

Someone’s Listening<\/strong>
\nI\u2019d moved to New York City to become an actress. But life in the big city wasn\u2019t what I\u2019d pictured. Everywhere felt so crowded compared to my West Virginia hometown. There was no privacy. Not in the subway, on the sidewalks or even in my brownstone apartment. The building had an air shaft running through it, so you could hear everything going on in other apartments. Every day brought a blur of noisy neighbors, frustrating auditions and packed city streets. So when I broke up with my boyfriend of two years, it felt like the final straw. One evening, I got home and broke down in tears. \u201cGod, all I want is someone to love me!\u201d I cried.<\/p>\n

A few days later, I got a phone call from John, a man I\u2019d met briefly at a party my landlady had thrown. He asked me out. I was flabbergasted. Had my prayer been heard? After an amazing date, I asked him why he\u2019d called. \u201cYour landlady heard your prayer through the air shaft and thought we\u2019d make a cute couple.\u201d And we do. John and I have been married for 37 years. My prayer was heard<\/a> in a way I\u2019d never expected. \u2014Deborah Novak, Huntington, West Virginia<\/em><\/p>\n

He’s Got Your Back<\/strong>
\nI was running ragged. My husband was away at a conference, meaning I was taking care of our seven children under the age of 12 on my own. I hadn\u2019t had a spare moment to myself. Now the kids were in bed, and all that separated me from some quiet prayer time was a load of laundry. I dropped the clothes into the machine, added the detergent and shut the lid. Nothing left to do but wait. I opened my Bible, letting out the breath I felt as if I\u2019d been holding all day. I cleared my mind, closed my eyes and opened myself up to whatever guidance God had for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t forget to put in the bleach,\u201d a clear voice said<\/a>. What?<\/em> I thought. Was that a metaphor…? I waited for the next part of the message. Surely, God wouldn\u2019t be speaking to me about…laundry. But I got nothing else. I figured it couldn\u2019t hurt to check. Sure enough, when I opened the lid to the washing machine, I realized I had forgotten the bleach! Maybe I didn\u2019t get the message I wanted to hear that day, but it was one I needed. God does see all\u2014even in the laundry room! \u2014Susan Mullan, Elkton, Maryland<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
