In what ways have your prayers been answered?

Prayer is a funny thing sometimes. What I mean is...sometimes we pray and pray and pray for a specific thing. My husband lost his job 2 years ago, and I have been praying that he would find a new one. Well, he hasn't yet. But I have also been praying that our family would be all right, that we would have the things we need. And that we would be safe and happy. And we have been. This whole entire time. My photography business has really grown, and I have been able to provide for our family while my sweet husband continues to search for a job.

So, I think sometimes we overlook the simple prayers that have been answered, and only look for the big ones! In that way, maybe people feel that Heavenly Father isn't listening to them. But when we take a step back and really look at our lives, of course there are going to be difficult times, but our simple prayers are being answered. Every day. We are together as a family. We have food on the table every day. We are happy. And those are daily answers to daily prayers. And sometimes the "big" prayers take time, and don't always turn out the way we had hoped. But we just keep on praying and doing the things we are supposed to do, and even though there will be bumps along the way, our lives will be blessed. And our prayers will be heard.
