At the top of my list of thankfulness is answered prayers! I realize that God always answers each and every one of our prayers but that it isn’t the answer we look for sometimes. Hard times are supposed to being us closer to him but sometimes that means that we question whether or not He is there for us. “Why isn’t he helping me” we often think. I’m guilty of such thoughts too! Last year at this time, my prayers were to become pregnant. This year, it’s been for my baby boy to sleep better at night. Of course, those aren’t the only prayers on my list! But once again, God answered my pleading. Samuel slept nine hours! Did I mention, straight. It’s amazing how good sleep is, but maybe God was helping me appreciate it more by taking it away for a while. God has a plan that’s for sure. Sometimes we know what it is and other times, we either need to be still and listen or accept what he is trying to do. Thank you God for always answering my prayers. Help me to accept the answer you give, even when I might not like it.
