I was chatting with a long-time friend today whom I hadn't seen in a while. During the conversation, I was hoping and praying I could provide some cheer and wisdom because of several disheartening situations she's been through recently.
I related that I had seen wonderful, long-lasting results during a very critical stage of my life after I went to God with a more specific prayer than I had normally been praying at that time.
Then, lo and behold, today when I specifically asked God to help out in a small area of my present life, He obliged in a way that couldn't be missed. But, as many times happens (and as happened in the situation noted above), the result didn't occur the way I thought it would. What's more, the result brought about a lot more work than I had anticipated.
Nevertheless, the prayer is answered - and God provided. He is, indeed, Jehovah-jireh (translation: God will provide). It's also worth nothing that in both my earlier situation and today's situation, the result was well worth the accompanying "trouble."
God - Father - thank you for caring about every single bit of our lives.
