calling His name

I often need to read and hear stories about how prayer is answered. God answers prayer that is prayed in earnest. He answers prayer that is heartfelt and truly reaching out to Him; seeking Him and wanting Him to meet our need. The book I am reading now by Jim Cymbala about his church (His church)shares real stories about how prayer was answered in those situations. His church, for example, grew like a weed because they had a prayer meeting that was only a prayer meeting. And then there are examples of people you would never think could be anything different than what they were and they reached out to God and through their first prayer the spiritual dominoes began to fall. I knew this to be true and have known for years and years but I never stop getting so jazzed by reading it over and over. I love hearing how Christ works in our lives, meeting our need and wanting us to be completely dependent on Him for everything. It is story like these and I read a lot that I know I can rest in Him while I wait for my own prayers to be answered especially about my husband and my marriage. Lord, I pray that I stop interfering in Your plan for me and my marriage. My husband and my marriage are in Your hands and I want to leave both of them there where they will be safe forever.
