Our toilet bowl got clogged. We suspect a small plastic part of the toilet seat fell in and got accidentally flushed. We tried everything - we tried using a plunger (even to the point of buing a new one, which might be what the Lord used, don't really know), putting a mixture of clorox, muriatic acid, cleanser, even shampoo! But nothing seemed to work.
Then I prayed. Yes, I did. I asked the Lord to fix our toilet bowl. Some of us will laugh at this, thinking what a simple and trivial thing to ask the Lord for. But I did. I prayed something like this - more or less, don't really remember... "Lord, please fix our toilet bowl. We are five of us sharing one toilet. It's going to be hard not being able to flush. Please command your angel to move that plastic object, or unclog whatever it is that's clogging the bowl. Thank you Lord."
A few minutes later I tried to flush, and it flushed all the way down!
Some will say the mixture of everything I put eventually did the job. But nothing could take away the smile in my heart, and in my face, knowing that the Lord answered my prayer.
What an awesome God. I am humbled that our God would stoop down so low as to listen to a prayer to unclog a toilet bowl. And then I realize that He did stoop down much lower than that when He decided to become man, die a painful death on a cross as payment for our sins. And through our faith in who He is will graciously save us from sin.
Thank you Lord.
