(Ed. note:The incident described below by one of our readers took place in the spring of 1971.
We think it illustrates the fact that God understands and is willing to help us with problems
peculiar to modern life.)

The engine of my car began to "miss" while driving home from the midweek meeting. The next
morning I had a babysitting engagement, so I drove to the home where I was to work. The car
got worse as I drove along. After the mother returned home, I told her of the trouble I was
having with the car. She recommended a mechanic in a certain place about twenty miles from her
home. She asked me if I wanted her to drive along behind me in case the car stopped completely.
I thanked her, but said it would be too much for her to bundle her three children into the car and
drive all the way there and back.

Now, I always ask God to take me safely to my destination whenever I drive the car. This time,
of course, I made special mention in my prayer of the car trouble and asked God to get me to the
repair shop without trouble. The car continued to "miss" and "jump" all down the highway, but
finally I arrived at the repair shop.

The mechanic drove the car into the garage. He lifted the hood of the car and picked up the
distributor cap. There was nothing holding it on! A large piece had broken off.

"How did you get this car here?" the mechanic asked.

"I drove it about twenty miles in order to get here," I replied.

"No car could run with a distributor cap like this," he said. "It was a miracle if you came twenty
miles in this car."

No doubt it was a miracle. God performs miracles every day – we just need the faith to see them.
