Answered Prayer


Why am I shocked when God answers a specific prayer request? Is it that I doubt that He can do what I've asked? Is it because I feel undeserving of an answer from Him? I'm sure this question has many answers, but the bottom line is, today I am a daughter of the King that feels very loved by her heavenly Father. I have had a prayer answered very specifically - a fervent prayer that I have pleaded with God to answer. I had no idea why He didn't answer this prayer right away and with an overwhelming "YES!"


I've always loved Jeremiah 29:11. It was a verse my dad shared with many people during his later years. Today, however, it has taken on new meaning for this battle-weary believer. Thank you, Father, for Your gift of H O P E!
