Answered Prayers

Have you ever wondered if he is hearing your prayers or your just not getting the answers. Over the years I have pondered this a lot. Sometimes I would just give up and not actually pray all the way. I guess out of laziness. When I needed help the most I would plead for Mercy. I didn't ever quite understand that the choices of others would effect my world so much. It would come out in anger, For some reason I had justified it and thought I had every right to be angry. I would say things that were horrible and justify it was okay because their actions and choices I could not control. I once was sent to anger management by my bishop. I kind of chuckled, because, if you knew me I really was a softy. But there was two people in my life that could make me angry. Once I was at the doctors office with my husband to adjust his medication. I teased the doctor and said maybe if you medicated me his problems would go away. She looked at me and said when is your appointment. I followed up with her and she helped me. I am not going to say it was magic but, I am going to say it was an answer to my prayers. It was an answer that I didn't even think of, it just happened. I am not an angry person anymore and my head is not jumbled all the time. I actually listen to people when they talk (well for the most part). My kids still think I have selective hearing. It may not be the solution you were looking for, but, it may just surprise you. He hears, he is listening, and he cares for you more than anything and only wants us to be happy. We just need to search and most of all listen with a pure and humble heart and an open mind.  Love K
