One cold January, George Watson’s orange groves in Florida were ruined. This meant he now had no money to support himself, and in November he had a large bill due. He had no way to get the money except by prayer. The Lord kept him from even thinking of complaining, but he began to fast and pray for God to supply his needs. He determined he would ask help of no one except the Lord.
