I have had some knee problems recently, so I asked my prayer partners to pray about that. For some reason I had been reluctant to mention this problem to them. Maybe it seemed trivial or selfish, but for whatever reason, I had been hesitant to ask them to pray about my knee.

The day after I asked them to pray, I received a diagnosis—a sprained ligament. No surgery is thought to be required—just stretching, rehabilitation and wearing a knee brace.

The rehab place I went to does not normally carry braces, but they just so happened to have one knee brace in stock. It just so happened to be exactly the kind of brace I needed. And it just so happened to fit me.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

What do you think?
