The Lord hears and answers prayers…

I may never fully understand how amazing the lord’s grace is sometimes. I do know that he hears us and he loves to answer prayers. Coming from a background of hopelessness and feeling abandoned at times, I found it difficult to sense some of my prayers would ever be answered or heard. Though there are countless. There are two that just still amazes to this day (they all amaze me). The Lord’s compassion and mercy is endless.

For a little over a year I prayed for a true friendship with a male. Not only one that would help me understand God’s creation for Godly fellowship with men, but more, someone seeing me for whom I am. I wanted someone to embrace friendship. A person who would go to battle in prayer and be real with. He is one of my best male friends today.

Around the same time I had also been praying for good godly friendship with a female. A relationship that is innocent, pure in heart, not self-seeking and free in spirit. It gets better. The person the lord brings is not even saved yet. She was a co-worker. Then she went to go work for another company. I prayed for almost a year concerning her coming to know the Lord. About 6 months after she left the company, she e-mails, meets me at church that Sunday and gives her life to the Lord! Still blows my mind.


Over a year after all this, these two I just mentioned starts dating. I feel so blessed and can’t grasp his mercy sometimes. The Lord is faithful. The Lord does answer prayers. Beloved press, lean, or whatever it takes to acknowledge him. He wants to know you. He wants to hear your prayers for friends, family, the broken, and the ones that know him.

Chad and Lisa. I pray his wisdom, grace and deep revelations of his love upon you both. I pray this season would be a season of fun, freedom and yes even stretching. Would it be worth it otherwise? You are true friends and you honor me. The way you both acknowledge me I treasure deeply. I love you both.
