God Answers Prayer

What an awesome God we have!  

I go through seasons of my life when I begin to question...does God really listen to my prayers?  Does he EVER answer them the way I want them to be answered?!  Sometimes it feels like He is adamant about doing the opposite of what I ask, or ignores my requests all together.  

Today I was reminded that not only does God answer prayers...but if we have our eyes and ears open we will sometimes find out that he answers them before we even ask!  I had something very important (info for another post) to talk to three women about today and I prayed all afternoon for God to prepare their hearts for what I was about to tell them.  Amazingly, (maybe it shouldn't be amazing since I know God works in wondrous ways...) two of them were extremely supportive of what I said, and the third one actually responded with "it's funny that you say that because as I was driving home yesterday something just told me that."  Wow!  God had prepared her heart to hear my words a whole day before I even asked Him to!  

Now that's a MIGHTY God!
