Today I was talking with some friends about being persistent in prayer. People were talking about how God answers their prayers, even when it isn’t exactly the way you want it sometimes. One older gentleman said that there have been plenty of times when he has prayed for something specific and God’s answer has been “No”. But he got choked up when he said he knew God heard one particular prayer for sure. It was when his wife was in the hospital and they didn’t know if she would survive. He begged God to heal her and that is what God did. He told of another time when he was very sick and his family didn’t think he was going to make it. He told God that if he died, God was going to have to take care of his wife. The next day the man started recovering. That was both moving and humorous. Both stories were beautiful examples of how God can show up in a big way to answer specific prayers.

I Found God today in stories of answered prayers.
