We have a Friend to call on

Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11:24 ESV)

 I was tired and had nodded off while on the tram. When I arrived at my destination, I was startled awake and barely made it off in time. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until after my dentist appointment that I realized I’d left my laptop on the tram!
 I began to berate myself, recalling how my wife had warned me to leave the laptop at home. The conversation replayed in my head: “You might lose it.” “Nah,” I’d answered, “not me.”
 Then the other voice, the one I call “The Living Word,” kicked in: If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Ask, and it will be given to you.
 I called my friend Andy and told him my plight and we prayed together for the laptop to be retrieved. I gave the situation to God to take care of.
  After the dentist, I boarded another tram and headed to my next destination. I was still thinking and talking to God about what had happened when I spotted a young girl moving up to the driver with a familiar-looking bag in her hand! My laptop bag! I ran up to her and explained what had happened and recovered my laptop. I thanked her profusely.
  What were the chances of boarding the exact same tram and finding my laptop after it had been lost for three hours?
