Share a time when you believed in God and He helped you.
I was driving along on the interstate, and I got off the exit, and I wasn't paying very much attention to how fast I was going, then all of the sudden, I felt like God wanted me to slow down. I didn't hear Him, but it was very strong. (It was really quick: like, "Slow down!" "Ok." Brake.) God doesn't talk to me like that very much, so I jammed on the brakes and drove through the intersection. Then behind me in my rearview mirror, I saw this flash. It was then that I realized that they had installed a red-light camera that takes pictures of people who speed or run the red light. Now, I was just going to let my car slow down on its own instead of hitting the breaks, but if I would have done that, I would have gotten a ticket an had to pay $70. I thought that was so kind of God to warn me to slow down when I was just being clueless, because that camera wasn't there the last time I'd went through that area. God helped me.
Another time, I had a lot to do, and I was just wound up about things, and I asked God to help me, and immediately God's sweet presence came to me, and I just started laughing. It wasn't the kind of laugh where people would think I'm ready for a straightjacket, just the kind of laugh when you realize that none of the problems you have are bigger than God. God helped me.
Other ways we can believe God is by obeying His Word. The Bible says, "Wives obey your husbands." Sometimes we can get into trouble if we don't obey when we should. The other week, we were driving down the road, and we saw a house with fire on the porch. The table on the front porch was on fire, and it hadn't caught the house yet, so we turned around, and my husband went to get the table away from the house so the house would not catch fire. I'd gotten out of the van because I'd called 911 in case we needed the fire department, and I was trying to read the address, and my husband said, "Get back in the van," and I didn't do it right away. I should have listened. What he saw, and what I didn't know was that the table that was on fire had a bunch of aerosol cans sitting under it on its shelf, so by the time I got around to obeying what my husband told me to do, the heat from the fire caused those cans to explode and fly across the lawn, and one of them hit me in the back of the leg, and burnt my skin. Now, if I would have believed God when he said, "Wives, obey your husbands," and if I would have listened right away
