A Miracle named Virginia
Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | A Miracle named Virginia
Hello! Today I want to tell you about a woman named Virginia.
Virginia Hobbs was a prayer warrior!
Even in her late 80s, Virginia would get up at 4 in the morning, and storm the gates of Heaven on behalf of those that she loved. She prayed passionately for her kids, her grandkids, her great-grandkids, her friends, her church, her country and her pastor. I was so blessed to be the recipient of Virginia’s prayers for more than two decades!
Virginia had a chair in her living room that was soaked in prayer. On the fireplace mantle beside the chair, there was a stack of pictures that Virginia would hold in her hand as she prayed with passion and purpose. She loved to pray but it also came at a cost. Virginia would often stay up all night interceding for a prayer request. She was exhausted at times because she believed that prayer mattered and that the person she was praying for mattered even more.
One of the people that she would often pray for was my wife, Laurel. Laurel has a degenerative eye condition that she has been dealing with for almost 30 years, and Virginia would pray for her healing over and over again. What a miracle to know that someone is praying for you with that level of conviction!
Virginia had several scriptures that kept her on her knees. The Bible says:
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14, NIV)
“’Have faith in God,’ Jesus answered. ‘I tell you the truth. If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:22-24, NIV)
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7, NIV)
I had the joy of talking to Virginia just before she went home to be with Jesus. I asked her about her prayer life, and she said, “The miracle that Jesus welcomes me never ceases to amaze me. I have a miraculous invitation to bring all of my precious family and friends to Jesus. That is an invitation that I will never say no to! He loves me! He hears me! He answers me!”
I am to remind you that God has laid you on my heart today. I am praying for you right now! I may not know you, or your needs, but the God who invites me to pray knows everything about you! Through the miracle gift of prayer, I am talking to Jesus about you right now. I am praying for your boldness, healing, strength and hope today!
I want to challenge you right now to look at the example of Virginia, and to pray for someone else’s miracle right now! God hears you and He will answer the prayer of the one who asks, seeks and knocks. Your prayers are a miracle gift right now!
Virginia went home to see Jesus a while back. I like to think she just relocated her prayer room to the space right next to the Throne Room of God! All of her questions have been answered and all of the miracles she was a part of (both seen and unseen) have been revealed. We miss you Virginia, but we know will see you again soon.
Remember friend, you are a miracle!!

Thank you Grant for sharing this story of Virginia, God bless her soul while resting peacefully with her Maker!
It always good to know that people are praying for you so thank you Grant for praying for me. I will also be praying for you and your wife Laurel. I have been praying daily for my children, grandchildren, my sister and my brother and their children and grandchildren daily. I also remember my Bible Study Group members in my prayers and when they ask for special prayers.
God answers prayers! Three days ago, the main door to my home will not close unless I lock it with a key. This situation happens every now and then and I always try some tricks and it works again. But this day all those tricks didn’t work for two days and I really got fed up and started thinking of changing the whole locking system all together. After a while, I was just about going out and it came to mind again and I just prayed about it, held the handle and it was working again to the glory of God! “All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer”
Dear God,
Thank you for your great love and blessing over our lives. Thank you that your favor has no end, but it lasts for our entire lifetime. Forgive us for sometimes forgetting that you are intimately acquainted with all of our ways, that you know what concerns us, and you cover us, as with a shield. We ask for your guidance so that we might walk fully in your blessing and goodness today. We ask that your face would shine on us. That you would open the right doors for our lives and for our loved ones, that you would close the wrong doors and protect us from those we need to walk away from. Establish the work of our hands and bring to fulfillment all that you have given us to do in these days. We pray that you would make our way purposeful and our footsteps firm out of your goodness and love. Give us a heart of wisdom to hear your voice, and make us strong by your huge favor and grace. Heal my heart and my family souls generational curse amen
