Pray. He will answer. Every. Single. Time.

Don’t believe prayer works, or that God is alive and active? Well have I got a story for you! Yesterday I wrote that there was something I was praying about (still not ready to share). Yesterday when I got home I talked to my mom about what I was praying about. She said she’d pray about it too, we left it at that and went about our nightly routine. This morning I woke up, got ready, and went to work (wait, I had my devotion first). About 15 minute into my work day I got a phone call from my mom. She was so excited she could barely talk to me. Here is our conversation:

Mom: Lisa you’ll never believe what just happened!

Me: What’s up?

Mom: My coworker Joanna. She said the most amazing thing this morning.

Me: What did she say?

Mom: She said the answer is…YES.

My mom was a little taken back, not understanding what she was talking about.  So mom asked what she meant. To which her coworker replied, “The answer is yes, to what you and your daughter are praying about. “She proceeded to tell my mom how she was up all of last night praying for us and that God gave her that answer. I was floored. My mom said she couldn’t even respond to her, because she was so shocked. Still don’t believe? Here’s what I learned. Ask. He’ll answer… EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7).

So what’s my plan of attack? To keep asking.
