There are many stories about the power of prayer. The Bible is full of stories about miracles God performed. If you are a christian, you most likely seen a miracle happen before or at least heard of one. The story called “The Miracle at Dunkirk” is another example of God’s never ending power. This story proves that God is always with you, no matter what situation you're in.

The British Expeditionary Force and thousands of allied troops decided to retreat, knowing they would be vanquished from the Germans if they didn’t. They decided to retreat to a port called Dunkirk because they could use the sea as an escape route. While this was going on, thousands of christians started praying for God to save the British and Allied troops from destruction. They all had faith and believed God would save them, even though this was a hopeless circumstance and they would all most likely be killed.
God answered their prayers in many ways starting with Hitler ordering his army to stop. Hitler knew the British and allies had little to no chance of escaping his grasp, so he ordered the Luftwaffe to eliminate them instead. Little did Hitler know that Luftwaffe was held behind because of severe weather. This gave the British and allied forces a chance to send for help. If you think that's amazing, then you will be elated when you hear that God doesn’t stop
