Answers to Prayer, from George Müller's Narratives

In this carefully selected collection, a 19th‑century philanthropist shares the practical steps he used to hear God’s guidance. By pairing prayer with diligent study of Scripture and an honest, patient heart, he illustrates a method that steered him through everyday decisions and larger callings. The excerpts reveal how he guarded against personal ambition and the allure of others’ opinions, trusting instead in the Spirit’s quiet prompting. Listeners will find a clear, down‑to‑earth framework for seeking divine direction in their own lives.

The narrative then turns to the early days of a remarkable orphan‑care venture, born from a deep conviction that God still answered prayers in modern times. Faced with the looming fear of poverty among aging believers, he felt compelled to show that reliance on the Living God could provide real, tangible hope. Through modest beginnings, he witnessed small miracles that encouraged both the vulnerable and the skeptical. These early stories offer a vivid portrait of faith put into action, inviting listeners to consider how steadfast trust can shape compassionate work.
