God Answers Prayer

Have you ever had a major decision you knew you would have to make within a matter of days and didn't know how you were going to make it?

This happened to me yesterday. I wish I could write more details but I would prefer not to share too much online. Let's just say that I knew I would have to make a decision between two things on Thursday and both choices seemed equally attractive. I didn't know what I was going to do, so I prayed, "Lord, you are going to have to be really clear to me because this is going to be a tough decision."

Less than five minutes later, I received a phone call. While the phone call was very hurtful, it was one of the clearest answers from God that I have ever experienced. It suddenly made one of the two choices very unattractive, and so the decision was easy to make.

A couple of hours later, I heard a tidbit of news concerning something I have been praying about since June. I would consider that news to be a clear answer to prayer, as well.

I'm sorry that I cannot share more details. I suppose this post is like when my elementary kids say to their friends, "I have a secret, but I can't tell you what it is." I just try to be prudent when it comes to details online because I want to respect my own privacy as well as everyone else's.

I CAN tell you this:

I thank God for answering the prayers of his children, even when his answer is a no!

How has God answered your prayers?
