Picture of George Muller praying with the orphan children plates set with no food. Here is the story One morning, 300 children sat at the breakfast table. The plates were set and the cups were in place, but every plate was empty and every cup dry. There was no food in the kitchen. Not a piece of bread. Not a drop of milk. The staff stood in panic as the children waited quietly at the tables. But George Müller simply said: “Set the table as usual.” Then George Müller stood before the children, bowed his head, and prayed: “Dear Father, we thank You for the food You are going to give us.” Moments later, there was a knock at the door. A baker stood outside carrying trays of warm bread. “Mr. Müller,” he said, “something kept telling me you would need bread this morning. I woke at 2 a.m. and baked enough for every child.”
