A NARRATIVE OF SOME OF THE LORD'S DEALINGS WITH
GEORGE MÜLLER
WRITTEN BY HIMSELF
SECOND PART
PREFACE TO THE
FIRST EDITION OF THE SECOND PART.
THROUGH grace I am, in some measure, conscious of my many
weaknesses and deficiencies; but, with all this, I know that I am a
member of the body of Christ, and that, as such, I have a place of
service in the body. The realization of this has laid upon me the
responsibility of serving the church in the particular way for which the
Lord has fitted me, and this has led me to write this second little
volume, if by any means those of my fellow-saints, who have not yet
learned the importance and preciousness of dealing with God Himself
under all circumstances, may be helped in learning this lesson. Nor did
I think that the first part of this Narrative rendered the second part
needless, because that contains more especially the Lord's dealings with
me as an individual, whilst this gives, more particularly, an account of
the remarkable way in which the Lord has helped me in reference to
His work in my hands. For this second part carries on the account of
the Orphan-Houses, etc., which are under my care, and contains the
substance of the Reports previously published, so that any one who
wishes to have the account from the beginning up to the end of last year,
may be able to obtain it. This latter point alone made it needful for me
to think about publishing this second part, as of the Reports for 1838
and 1839, which still almost daily are inquired after, there are only a
few copies left, though 2,500 of the one and 3,000 of the other were
published and of the Report for 1840 there are also only about 500, out
of 4,000, remaining. The being thus able to put the whole account of
the work into the hands of an inquiring individual, affords such a one a
fairer opportunity of seeing the working of those scriptural principles
on which the Institution is established. And, lastly, the Lord's continued
blessing upon the first part of the Narrative and the Reports, both to

believers and unbelievers, has induced me to publish this second
volume, which I now affectionately commend to the prayers of the
saints, requesting at the same time their prayers for myself.
GEORGE MULLER.
Bristol, June 14, 1841.

SECOND
PART
In publishing the continuation of the Narrative of some of the Lord's
dealings with me, I have thought it well to give it in the same form in
which the larger portion of the former part is written. I therefore
proceed to give extracts from my journal making here and there such
remarks as occasion may seem to require. The first, part of the
Narrative was carried on to the beginning of July 1837, from which
period the Continuation commences.
July 18, 1837. Four trials came upon me this morning, without my
having previously had opportunity for secret prayer. I had been
prevented from rising early, on account of having to spend part of the
night in a sick chamber; but this circumstance shows, how important it
is to rise early, when we are able, in order that we may be prepared, by
communion with the Lord, to meet the trials of the day.
Aug. 15. Today the first 500 copies of my Narrative arrived, and I had,
once more, some conflict of mind whether, after all, I had not been
mistaken in this matter. A sort of trembling came over me, and a wish
to be able to retrace the step. Judging, however, from the most
searching self-examination, through which I had caused my heart to
pass again and again, as to my motives, before I began writing, and
whilst I was writing; and judging, moreover, from the earnestness in
prayer with which I had sought to ascertain the mind of God in the

matter, and from the subsequent full assurance which I had had of its
