God Answers Prayer!

While sitting at the table doing her homework my daughter often talks about her school day, what she ate for lunch or who said or did what to who. Today's talk just blew me away. While driving to her violin studio class she and her dad witnessed a family being struck by a car. A young man blew through an intersection while turning a corner where a boy on a tricycle and Dad carrying a baby were crossing. In a flash the boy was under the car and the man and baby on top of it. As I listened to her tell the story, I began to imagine the terror my daughter experienced in witnessing this event. And then she said something that just blew me away. "I just sat there and prayed Mommy." As her dad got out of the car to lend a hand, my little 9 year old sat and prayed to our heavenly Father that He protect and save that family. The best part of all? God answered her prayer.

If you haven't picked it up yet, I highly recommend reading "Heaven is for Real" by Todd Burpo. This isn't your run of the mill book about finding God in everyday life. It's about the extraordinary miracles God performs around us, the power of heartfelt prayer, and the promise of an eternity spent with our Savior. I guarantee it will change the way you look at life. 

Just yesterday I heard from my brother and sister-in-law that their baby boy had come out of surgery with an unexpected miracle. You see, he'd had surgery recently to repair his cleft lip and last week developed an infection. The family cried out for prayer and healing. When the doctors went in to work on the site of the surgery, they found a tooth they hadn't seen before. Had the site healed this tooth could have caused a world of problems. Praise God for His provision!

I want to know what God's been doing in your life. Share with me the joy you've experienced in God's answer to your prayers.

I look forward to your comments. Have a glorious, miraculous, God given day!
