God Does Answer Prayer

God does Answer Prayer 

I wanted to make a list of how God has answered prayer and worked in my life...its nice to look back to especially when things look rough and I forget his goodness and love.

This page post is a work in progress, as is my life!
(this started off as a page, I moved it to a re-occurring Post. It will probably morph into something else later)

Here is one of my new favorite Bible Verses. 

Psalms 66:16-20

Come and listen, all you who fear God; 

       let me tell you what he has done for me.

I cried out to him with my mouth; 

       his praise was on my tongue.

If I had cherished sin in my heart, 

       the Lord would not have listened;

 but God has surely listened 

       and heard my voice in prayer.

 Praise be to God, 

       who has not rejected my prayer 

       or withheld his love from me!

My husband-He is good Godly man, and challenges me and helps me grow. 

My baby- She is a answer to prayer. We wanted children, but I didnt want to do anything evasive, it took a while...3 years, but she is here and she is wonderful.
I didnt have the epidural- Now this might sound weird, but I decided years before I was pregnant that I didnt want an epidural and confirmed that during pregnancy. Labor was hard, but the Lord answered my crazy prayer and I delivered naturally just like I had prayed and hoped.
I got an IT job immediately-Since taking this IT journey the Lord has provided me with great jobs even through 3 lay offs!!!
I was hired by the pharmacy and they paid me more- I wanted to work permanently where I was contracted and they hem and hawed at hiring me, I was hired by 2 other companies and was pregnant, and FINALLY just before Thanksgiving they hired me and paid me more than what I was going to get at the other companies. 

A Car- When we were first married, we had one reliable car and one not so reliable car. Then we were down to one car. When we went to buy another car, we could not get a loan for the life of us and didn’t understand why. Finally, a woman at a small bank sat with us and I told her that I didn’t understand what was happening and she said "I’m not supposed to do this but..." and she showed us our credit report and it was FULL of wrong information. Thank the Lord for that woman. My husband had a job interview in a week and we had no car for him, so I emailed the church to ask people to pray and in minutes someone offered to sell us their car for $500. We got the money from my in-laws and we had a car. I spent the next few months cleaning up our reports. 

**Side Note-Looking back, I don’t want to forget what its like to be in need of money or things. That way I wont take all we have now for granted.
