Our family has been learning a lot about prayers lately. We have memorized a scripture in the King James Bible James Chapter 1 verse 5:
Our family has had many discussions about Heavenly Father answering us in his own time or his own way. Sometimes that is one of the hardest things to understand. I really liked this quote by Russell M. Nelson an Apostle for
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
So at a moment of discouragement and feeling like my prayers were not be answered my girls reaffirmed to me that sometimes we won't understand "unanswered" prayers until further down the road and like Garth Brooks sings...
Keep Prayin'
Jan
Beautiful words, Jan. I listened to the song by Garth Brooks :), and I've thought of a whole bunch of seemingly unanswered prayers in my life. Now from this perspective, I see that those prayers were heard and answered in ways that I did not understand at the time but have been for my best good. It's so tough in the moment, but I love the way you expressed that a loving God does always care and hear. Love you. XO
