"And real prayer isn’t about changing God’s mind, but about finding God’s
heart, and letting His heart change my mind."
God is good .. All the time. He is so good to me, to my family .. To those who simply fold their hands in a quiet moment of prayer. A prayer for peace, for support, for thanks. A desperate cry for help .. When the burden is too heavy to carry on your shoulders.
He listens and He hears. And, when it's time .. He asnwers. For all things happen in His time .. In His way.
Today God answered a prayer for my family. Last week, He answered two. Prayers for help that were filled with worry and tears and worn down minds. Prayers of desperation .. Not knowing which way to go. The path so unknown .. Leaving us feeling lost. Lost, but never alone, because He was there the whole time laying out the path for us. I could feel His presense .. His never ending presense promised to those who believe in Him.
And in this answered prayer, this awesome moment of an answered prayer, I simply closed my eyes, exhaled, praised God and took in a fresh breath of air. The weight lifted. My shoulders relaxed, my heart full of thanksgiving, my mind at rest. A contentment felt, a fear lifted away.
