Answering Your Prayer!!!

We the people! Ha, nothing as serious as the Declaration of Independence, but we, the people, are funny creatures.

We pray for or about situations in our lives both good and bad. We offer up thankful prayers for the things and times in our lives that are smooth and pray for changes in the bad.

Here’s where I find a bit of amusement! We have needs or desires in our lives, in our world. So we offer up prayers, asking for changes.

Maybe you hate your job, it’s not only affecting you, your mental and physical state but it’s seeping into your home life as well. So, you begin praying for the right answers or direction. The next thing you know; you’re laid off, you’re fired, the plant has shut down, the business has closed its doors, guess what? God just answered your prayer!

You want to move! The home has gotten to small. The area no longer feels like home. Something is stirring in your spirit and the breeze starts moving your mind in a different direction or calling! The next thing you know, the house you’re renting just sold! Surprise, you’ve been chosen to open the new store and are being transferred! The company eliminated your position and they are moving you here! You received an unexpected financial blessing, guess what? God just answered your prayer!

Possibly boredom has set in! Same thing day in and day out! Nothing to really look forward to, no reason to put on makeup, no place to go and nothing is open anyway! The children’s ministry needs help, I love kids, hmmm! There’s a Bible study on Wednesday nights, hmmm! The public library holds coloring/coffee Saturday’s grab your favorite book and pencils go have coffee. You have girlfriends who read, start a book club! There are so many avenues. Why have you not noticed them before … because God just answered your prayer!

Isaiah 64:4 NIV “Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him”

Mark 11:24 NIV “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

My point today is, when we pray to God, he hears our words, our hearts, our tears, and our desires. He moves on our behalf, so the next time change starts to happen in your world try changing your view…It just might not be a calamity…It might be God just answering your prayer!

Be blessed today and try and be a blessing! Thank you for joining me. 🥰❣️
