I would very much like to thank you for your prayers for me

Yesterday I had a court hearing. My past mistake was breaking into a basement and a theft, for which I was put under a probation officer for a 4-year probation period. Toward the end of the probation period I committed another offense under the same article, but a less serious one, i.e. theft of electricity (I should add that after I paid the bill my electricity was cut off and I had a full fridge, which made me hook myself up for about 3 hours, twice). Enea reported the matter to the court. I was given a court-appointed lawyer who tried to convince me of how Polish law works and that if I pleaded guilty I would be sentencing myself and he wouldn't be able to help me. But in my heart I clearly heard the words "The truth will set you free" and "put your hope not in people but in God", because "God alone suffices", and "Whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son". So I decided to entrust myself completely to God and I pleaded guilty. After I pleaded guilty, the lawyer left the hearing, excusing himself with an important meeting. Leaving me on my own. The judge sentenced me to community work at the municipal services company in the town where I live. So the Truth set me free! Unfortunately, instead of joining my cases for the 2 hookups. They handled them separately, which resulted in my probation officer filing a motion to have a one-year prison sentence enforced which is why another hearing took place yesterday. Just before the hearing I decided to go into adoration to talk with the Lord. I took a few slips of paper with the Word, in which the Lord told me not to lose hope, to trust boundlessly in His mercy, to remain before Him in complete trust through prayer, silence and sacrifice. In my heart I decided to give Him everything. In my heart I agreed for God's Will to be fulfilled in me, and in my heart I agreed that if they locked me up, it would be God's will and I would offer that suffering to Him. An image appeared in my heart of the Lord Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane: Lord, if You can, take this cup away from me, but if this is Your will, give me the strength to endure. My heart was racing in my chest with pain and suffering when I heard the court's sentence. Imprisonment for a year and 2 months. Suddenly I was to leave my future wife, lose my home and my beloved community, everything I love... The judge passed the sentence. I went out to wait until it was in writing so I could possibly appeal it. My heart broke, but I still heard the words in my heart: Trust! That it is not by human justice that we receive forgiveness, but by God's. Moving on. Many times in my life I have bet on God, and He has never let me be put to shame. Broken, I went back into the courtroom and heard from the judge that the rules had changed two years ago and the supervision is to be up to three years, not four, which means the electricity theft doesn't count toward the probation period... and I was acquitted. A MIRACLE!
