His answers may not come the way we want them to - but He always answers! I'm glad He answered the prayer of both your hearts, Martha.

I continue to lift up others in prayer but my prayer for myself is more to align myself with God's will for me. Here's some questions I try to ask: Where's the opportunity in this? How can God use this _______? What is God's will? How can I move into that? Or do I need to move aside for that? What is my role in this? Just a few thoughts....Lynne Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788918458763274157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-31735477334734221232012-04-02T06:58:22.754-07:002012-04-02T06:58:22.754-07:00Oh, Bonnie, thank you so much for your sweet words...Oh, Bonnie, thank you so much for your sweet words and anniversary wishes!<br />It is difficult to pray for something and still continue to see suffering.

We forget to just approach the throne with humble and thankful hearts and simply listen to what He has to say to us.

When it comes to ...Happy Anniversary to you both! <br /><br />When it comes to prayer, I don't really pray anymore...not the way I used to. It's not because my prayers weren't answered or I feel bitter or anything it's because I'm starting to view God differently. Instead of coming with him for requests I come to Him in silence, opening my heart up to Him. Sometimes with an intention for a question to be answered, sometimes just in adoration and with a receptive spirit. It is then that I receive His warmth, love and oftentimes directions spontaneously will arise I will leave my time with Him with discernment and the strength and clarity to overcome obstacles.<br /><br />~blessingsJessica Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450820269367184046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-49574562286515219072012-04-02T05:41:04.748-07:002012-04-02T05:41:04.748-07:00Oh this is so beautiful Martha!

My niece and I were just talking about how God responds to prayers.<br /><br />She told me God doesn't give me a bf because it's not what I truly seek...my heart wishes something else.<br /><br />I remember when I heard God calling me for mission and He made all possible ways to make it true. God also knew when it was time to go and live a new life... <br /><br />God knows what is best for us even if it's incomprehensible most of the time.<br /><br />I trust Him.<br /><br />God bless you and Dsnny :) You deserve all the best in life!
