In 19th-century England, George Müller felt called by God to care for orphaned children. At a time when poverty was rampant and resources scarce, he decided to trust solely in prayer and God’s provision rather than asking people for financial support. One morning, in one of Müller’s orphanages, the children sat down for breakfast. The table was set, the children were ready, but there was no food in the house. Müller didn’t panic; instead, he confidently prayed, thanking God for the meal He was about to provide, even though there was no visible sign of food.

As soon as the prayer ended, there was a knock at the door. It was the local baker, who told Müller that God had woken him up in the middle of the night, urging him to bake bread for the orphanage. He delivered enough bread for all the children. Moments later, another knock came—it was the milkman. His cart had broken down in front of the orphanage, and to prevent the milk from spoiling, he offered it to Müller and the children.

That morning, the children ate their fill, and Müller’s faith was once again affirmed. Over his lifetime, Müller cared for over 10,000 orphans, relying entirely on prayer and faith in God’s provision.

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19, ESV)
