Thank you God, for answering prayers

2/6/2022

This last week has shown me the greatness of our Heavenly Father. Not only His greatness, His goodness, His love for us, and how He watches over us. For those who live up north and get lots of snow and ice this may not seem that big to you. However, it showed me just how much He answers our prayers.

My grandchildren had rabbits entered in the Fort Worth Stock Show this last week. Grandma, to show her support, agreed to take them. Then we heard of an artic storm was coming, I know that you northern readers think, so what, we get them every year. Not here in Texas. Yes, we get snow and ice, and I normally have a husband who drove me where we needed to go on it years ago. Just not me.

This year almost as if God had it planned, we left on Wednesday and Thursday morning I got the blessing of driving on snow and ice for the first time in over fifteen years. I may have slipped and slid, however with the prayers of those in the car and some left at home, I made it two and a half miles each day for two days.

Because God was asked to help, He did. Because the occupants of the car were united in prayer, He answered our prayers.

God our Heavenly Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, and our Guide, the Holy Ghost has shown me once again that they care and will answer our prayers.

We prayed that we would make it up the hills, He answered that prayer by getting us to the top.

We prayed that we would make it down the hills, He answered the prayers.

We prayed that the traffic light would remain green till we went through, He answered the prayers.

Each time that we prayed a specific prayer from Wednesday night until we made it home on Saturday, God answered our prayers. And one of the things I did after each answer was gave Him praise for answering those prayers.

Our God is worth of all the praise that we give Him. Everyday we need to ask ourselves, have we given thanks for all the God has done for us. If we are not sure, then we need to take the time in our busy life to stop and praise Him for all the blessings God bestows on us.

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for hearing and answering prayers. We ask many things of you, and you answer. Sometimes with yes, sometimes with no and sometimes with wait. I want to take the time to say “thank you” one more time for all the answered prayers. Please use this to help someone to believe that You, our God, will answer their prayers even if we don’t get the answer that we want. Amen
