“The funds are now exhausted. But I believe God will provide. Many times we have been brought low, but we have never been entirely without. The Lord will provide—Jehovah Jireh.”

Journal Entry:
“The children are dressed and ready for school. There is not a thing in the house to eat.
I gave myself to prayer.
The doorbell rang. A baker stood there.
'Mr. Müller,' he said, 'I couldn't sleep last night. Somehow I felt you didn’t have bread for this morning. The Lord told me to get up at 2 a.m. and bake some fresh bread and bring it over.'
Shortly after, the milkman knocked. His cart had broken down outside the orphanage. He said, ‘The milk will spoil by the time the wheel is fixed. Can you use it?’
This morning, the children had their breakfast.”
- George Müller
