In my early days of doing Uber, I had a gearbox issue. They quoted 250k to repair it and 600k for a new one. I had about 100k in my account.
I was young, alone in my hostel, and had been crying for days. Around 4:30 p.m. one particular day, I was so exhausted that I started recording myself talking to God. I told Him, “If you don't answer me now, I don't even know who else to turn to. I'm tired of crying.”
I was reminding God of all the things He had done for me and asking why this particular problem was so difficult.
Guys, I kid you not, about 20–30 minutes later, an Uber rider I had met through work, Mrs. Boluwatife of Hamborg Properties, called to check on me from uk. I told her what was happening, and she gave me the complete amount I needed to fix my car, with six months to pay her back.
And the craziest part? I still have the Snapchat video of myself recording that prayer that day. I was literally recording myself saying those exact words to God, not knowing what would happen next.
I'll never forget that miracle.
