Sergio had committed a crime and was awaiting trial.  “I prayed to the Lord every day for my freedom. I knew that I did not deserve it, because I was guilty, but I had repented of my sins.”

One day Sergio took the calendar verse of the day which read 'come to me all you who are tired and labouring and I will give you rest.' Sergio says: ”I kept the sheet because I identified with this text, because of my concern about going to jail.”

A couple of days later, on the day of the trial, one of the Centre’s therapists accompanying Sergio to court gave him a verse that said that the Lord was going before him. As the sentence of 6 months imprisonment and 2 years without crime was pronounced, Sergio’s lawyer asked for a suspension of the penalty which was granted!

Sergio commented:”I left the courthouse and I was so happy that I could only say: 'Lord, it's really You, it's really You, I can't believe it, you're really good.'"

Sergio’s sister commented that it had to be a miracle as this pronouncement had looked impossible.
