Random Prayer Request...or not?

A couple of weeks ago I was sending a text message to a friend about a prayer request that we had been talking/praying about. Much later in the evening I got a phone call from this number(I was too asleep to answer it and it went into voicemail) Little did I know, my friend had changed her cell number and it had already been given to someone else. The "new" owner of the phone number called to say that she was sorry for my friend and that God heals all people and she would pray. At least I think that what was said because she sounded really out of it. I laughed it off and deleted the number from my phone--and now have the new one.

Monday morning I get a text from my "friend" (her old # but with her name which I thought I deleted) saying to pray for her because she needed to be back with her son. I was confused and thought that perhaps this was a cryptic message related to a Bible study that we are doing together. It encouraged me to get my homework done to figure out what she was talking about. Never did find anything--but tried really hard!!

So tonight at Bible study I asked my friend about it and she hadn't sent it. Come to find out it was from the new owner of the phone number who was reaching out. We have exchanged a couple of messages back and forth now and she is getting prayers from a random stranger who dialed the wrong number.

Pretty cool huh?
