The Power of Prayer

There was a Christian lady who lived next door to an atheist. 
Everyday, when the lady  prayed, the atheist guy could hear her.
He, thought to himself, "She sure is crazy, praying all the time
like that.  Doesn't she know there isn't a God?"

Many times while she was praying, he would go to her house and
harass her, saying, "Lady, why do you pray all the time?  
Don't you know there is no God?"  

But, she kept right on praying.
One day, she ran out of groceries.  As usual, she was
praying to the Lord, explaining her situation, and thanking
Him for what He was gonna do.

AS USUAL, the atheist heard her praying and thought
to himself, "Hmph ... I'll  fix her."  

So he went to the grocery store, bought a whole
bunch of groceries, took them to her  house, dropped
them off on the front porch, rang the door bell, and 
then hid in the bushes to see what she would do.

When she opened the door and saw the groceries, she 
began to praise the Lord with all her heart---jumping,
singing, and shoutin' everywhere!

The atheist then jumped out of the bushes and told her,
"You ol' crazy lady, God didn't buy you those groceries.
I bought those groceries!"

Well, she broke out, and started running down the street,
shouting and praising the Lord.  When he finally caught
her, he asked what her problem was . . . 

She said, "I  knew  the Lord would provide me with some
groceries, but I didn't know he was gonna 
make the devil pay for them!"
