For One Last Chance, I Will Try This

 

Life can sometimes feel like an endless storm, with challenges that threaten to overwhelm us. For one woman, that storm had become too much to bear. Burdened by financial struggles, a broken family, and a sense of hopelessness, she was on the verge of giving up—until a simple scripture changed everything. This is the story of how God restored her family and finances, proving that miracles still happen today.

The Breaking Point

The weight of her struggles had become unbearable. Debts were piling up, their business was failing, and their half-built house stood as a constant reminder of their unmet dreams. The stress had taken a toll on her family, leaving them distant and broken. Arguments had become the norm, and the once-strong bonds of love and trust were fraying at the edges.

One morning, she boarded a public bus, not knowing where she was going or what she was doing. Tears streamed down her face as she stared out the window, her heart heavy with despair. The thought of ending it all crossed her mind—a desperate escape from the pain and hopelessness that seemed to have no end.

But as the bus passed by a small church, something caught her eye. Written in large letters on the wall was a scripture:

“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Those words struck a chord deep within her. For the first time in what felt like forever, a flicker of hope ignited in her heart. “For one last chance,” she thought, “I will try this.” Without hesitation, she got off the bus and stepped inside the church.

The Turning Point

Inside the church, she was greeted by a kind woman—my wife—who listened to her story with compassion and without judgment. For hours, they talked, prayed, and cried together. My wife shared words of encouragement and reminded her of God’s promises: that He is a restorer of broken lives, a provider in times of need, and a healer of wounded hearts.

That morning, as the woman left the church, she felt a sense of peace she hadn’t experienced in years. She didn’t know how, but she believed that God was going to do something miraculous in her life.

The Miraculous Breakthrough

And He did.

That very evening, a buyer unexpectedly appeared, offering to purchase the bus they had been trying to sell for months—at a price far beyond their expectations. It was the breakthrough they had been praying for. With the funds from the sale, they were able to complete their half-built house, pay off some of their debts, and breathe new life into their struggling business.

But the miracles didn’t stop there. Over time, peace and harmony were restored in their home. The arguments ceased, and the family began to heal. They started attending church together, praying together, and seeking God’s guidance in every area of their lives.

The greatest miracle of all, however, was their salvation. The entire family turned to Jesus, surrendering their lives to Him and committing to follow His teachings. What began as a moment of despair had become a testimony of God’s faithfulness and power.
