I noticed that within your story you suggested that you had thought that it might not make sense to bother God with such an insignificant concern as a lost piece of jewelry.
This is a very common thought from what I’ve been able to notice in my many decades on this planet.
But there is nothing in Scripture to encourage such thinking.
If scripture does not discourage a small God view, I hope you will be helped as I share with you something that has recently helped me see that my view of our immense, omnipresent God, was too small :
There are approximately 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
Light travels at 186,000 miles per second.
Light takes over 100,000 years to cross an average galaxy.
I know I had felt that way about my prayer for my lost earring because I had done something "stupid" by taking my earrings off at the kitchen sink, something I normally don't do.
Our merciful and loving Abba took care of my situation, and I'm loving how many, many readers are selecting "Like" (the heart) and some also leaving Comments.
This is His story, all glory to Him, and I love seeing the encouragement in the Comments from so many people.
Ok last comment I promise lol. I have a story like this I just remembered. Back in the days of CDs I had a CD of photos I had borrowed from someone that I needed to return. They were one of a kind. Time came to return it and of course I could not find it. In hindsight I'm sure it wasn't as big of a deal but I went into a full blow panic. I happened to be chatting with my cousin on Whatsapp and I told her what was happening. The next thing she told me was try looking under the bed. And I looked and there it was! And I'm telling you I had looked before! From that day whenever I loose something I pray to the Holy Spirit my GPS and I just ask him to help me find whatever it is, and yes sometimes even earrings and he always does. I don't think I have ever not found something.
Amen, and you're not posting too much, sister, Lol. I love these stories, and yours may encourage another person one day. I believe you when you wrote that you had looked under the bed and it wasn't there previously. Mark and I talk about that God has given us "parking angels". Even in busy parking lots, we "suddenly" find an available empty space, and often near the entrance door of the establishment. :-)
I love this topic! We don't talk about it enough as protestants. Also totally with you on things "suddenly" appearing. This has happened to me several times. God can bend the physical.
Yes, we all need not "be afraid" of the supernatural, of the unseen realm. Fortunately for me, it's been very real all my life. I find I'm "afraid" of talking with other believers about what God does, because not everyone experiences the supernatural. So, I ask Father God to bring to me like-minded believers, and He does!
I don't know enough about angels and their jobs, yet I always felt like it had my grandmother as my guardian angel. Why her? Because I lived with her my first three years on Earth and she taught me about God and made me memorize the 23 Psalm and took me to church. I could be wrong, but I hope I'm not. I just know someone has been protecting me all my life because for many reasons, I shouldn't be here.
What a beautiful gift your grandmother gave you during your first three years of life here. She invested in you, for she knew--as we know--how much God loves you!
Trust in Jesus, for He is your Good Shepherd (Psalm 23). His love for you is indescribable! <3
GOD bless you, Jenise, and yours. What a wonderful, encouraging, true story. A special blessing never to be forgotten. This miracle reminds us that our loving GOD is always concerned about the small details. The things we consider unimportant are, in reality, a priority to Him, the one who will forever love us more than we can understand.
This was a "tap on the shoulder moment" where the LORD says, be reminded, I'm always with you. I know all about your moments of distress. I know all your troubles and fears, your weaknesses and strengths, the smallest detail, all your concerns. I hear you when you cry and laugh. I know all your thoughts, good or bad, and during it all, I will never stop Loving you.
He wants to remind us that He is the one who will always save the lost, rescue the brokenhearted, and love us forever.
"The LORD redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned." Psalm 34:22 ESV
GOD bless you all!
O God, Will You Restore Us? A simple song of lament and hope.
Good Sunday morning, James! I’m so grateful our Lord ministered to you through this story.
Yes, be reminded that He hears, brother, and He cares very much. You are cherished and deeply loved.
God uses you in my life 100%, through your comments on my posts. I so look forward to them to see what new encouragement God has for us all through you! 😊✝️🙌🏻
Erika at least 3 times Ive been saved by someone running a red light when I'm stopped and my light was green and the reason is I suddenly got distracted by something inside the car. Then I hear and see something WHIZ by in front: a car running the light! And it's so shocking you just wait an extra 2 mins just in case lol. I'm always like Thank You Jesus out loud! I know an Angel or the Holy Spirit made me turn my head and look at something.
Grateful for God saving you, Beverly! Thank you for leaving a comment, and responding to Ericka. (Driving, these days, seems more and more perilous.) Praise God!!
What a sweet story about the Lord’s personal attention and care for us. Amazing!
Yes, He is amazing! Grateful to hear this story blessed you.

There are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies.
Good reminders, Bob, thank you!

"The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him and delivers them.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!"
Psalm 34:7-9 ESV

Thanks for this uplifting reminder that God (and his angels) help us in the little things too.
You’re welcome! He thought I needed the reminder, too. 😊
