Faith

Read the following story, and then answer the questions that follow to start a faith conversation:

Things looked bleak for the children in George Muller's orphanage at Ashley Downs in England.  It was time for breakfast, and there was no food.  A small girl whose father was a close friend of Muller's was visiting in the orphanage.  Muller took her hand and said, "Come and see what our heavenly Father will do."
In the dining room, long tables were set with empty plates and empty mugs.  Not only was there no food in the kitchen, but also there was no money in the orphanage's account.  Muller prayed, "Dear Father, we thank You for what You are going to give us to eat."
Immediately, they heard a knock at the door.  When they opened it, there stood the local baker.  "Mr. Muller," he said, "I couldn't sleep last night.  Somehow I felt that you had no bread for breakfast, so I got up at two o'clock and baked fresh bread.  Here it is."  Muller thanked him and gave praise to God.
Soon, a second knock was heard.  It was the milkman.  His cart had broken down in front of the orphanage.  He said he would like to give the children the milk so he could empty the cart and repair it.

1.)  What does this story tell you about George Muller?
2.)  How is this like or unlike your experience with prayer?
3.)  What steps can we take in our lives to have a stronger faith?
