Answers to prayer

I've been experiencing some wild answers to prayer this week. My friend has some drug issues and a lot of times he seems eaten by it. Some days he tells me that he wants to die and that he has no more reason to live. The sorrow in his life is evident, in his sin he often stops to ask God to forgive him and to help him. For almost two weeks now I have been making efforts to have a consistant prayer life. He has been on my list and I lift him up to God every day. We always hug each other and say hello each day. To me he is a brother of sorts and he confesses his errors to me. Today he told me that he turned down some free drugs and he was amazed at his will power. I told him that I was praying for him. He told me never to stop doing it. Addiction is one of the things I've been praying against. A girl came up to me and said "I quit doing cocaine three days ago and Today I stopped smoking marijuana." This has given my hope quite a jumpstart. I am absolutely stoked about what God is doing. I help this guy on the weekends who is not able to do anything for himself. I dress this guy and do what ever he needs to do that requires his hands. I cooked him a Fillet Mignon Sunday night and the smell and the sight of it made me want one. Of course he didn't have on to offer me and I am too broke to afford anything.
Sometimes I beg when I run out of money. I don't like doing it very much. I had thought to myself how good that steak looked until about Tuesday. I was not able to get it out of my mind for about two days. Then last night, which if you read this late was on a Wednesday, these two sorority girls came up to me ." Are you hungry?" one of them asks me. " I have a steak here in this bag for you. " Aw hell yeah!! They laughed at my excitement. They walked off after a minute of small talk. I opened up the bag and there at the bottom of it was a very beautiful Fillet Mignon. It was still hot. I am amazed at how wild this God of ours is. I have trouble dismissing this as coincidence. God is amazing!!
