The Note's Contents [0:21]
Twenty years later, the old woman passed away. Curious about the contents of the note, the grandson retrieved it from the hole in the roof. As soon as he removed the note, the roof collapsed. Upon reading the note, he discovered that it contained a prayer: "Oh God, You have said that God holds the heavens and the earth from vanishing. Oh God, hold the roof above us." God held the roof for 20 years due to her certainty in her Lord.
