I once wanted a Nanny owing to the fact that I
was struggling to take care of three kids below the age of six. It was so hard,
hey! I am no superwoman, I needed help. So I started scouting for help, I searched
in all places but I couldn’t find. I hadn’t even thought to pray. Should I also
pray about this? I asked myself? I finally said a word of prayer. A few weeks
after, my husband brought home someone and said Honey, I brought you a nanny. I
was so surprised! Has God answered my prayer so soon? Wow! What a wonderful
God? I should have prayed earlier, I said quietly. All of a sudden, I started
feeling uneasy about the nanny. When I introduced my kids to the Nanny, they
all left with a sullen face. Then I pulled my husband aside and said; I don’t
feel comfortable about this and the kids are not happy. Why he asked angrily? You
needed a Nanny and I have brought you one. Yes, I appreciate your effort but
unfortunately, I do not feel this is the one. So he agreed to send the Nanny
away reluctantly, of course. A few weeks after, he called me and said, honey
you were right about the Nanny. The Nanny went to live with a couple down the
street and she maltreated their kids so badly. I smiled and said, thank you Holy
Spirit. After I said a word of prayer, God sent me the Holy Spirit to help me
in my decision and that was the sudden discomfort I felt which didn’t allow me
to employ the Nanny. We hugged each other and we just couldn’t thank God enough
for all his goodness and mercy.
“ But the helper, the
Holy spirit, whom the Father will send in my Name, He will teach you all things
and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
John 14:26.
