Do you ever wonder if the Creator of the universe heard your prayer?
For a full year I prayed either my husband’s heart would soften toward having another child or God would change my heart to stop desiring a bigger family. A year!
We had a two year old at the time. A handful. Yet every night I would ask God the same request, “soften his heart or change mine, but let us be in agreement”.
What felt like the dead of winter ~ cold and silent, I waited.
You can imagine a year of prayers, some nights in tears, waiting quietly might have felt grossly like my little heart went unheard. I wanted to believe He heard me.
We need to believe He heard us! Maybe you’ve been waiting longer than a year?

Friend what I wouldn’t give to hold your hand and reassure you God’s Word repeats “the Lord heard”!
We may be required to wait. We may have to swallow a “no”.
But trust in the fact that your Father heard you! He hears you now and He delights to hear from you often!
