He Knows the Desires of my Heart

I love being struck by the wonder of God's attention to detail in my life. Twice this week he has assured me that he hears me and I matter to him. Early this week I sent out a specific prayer request to someone. I don't easily do this for myself, though I am learning to be desperate for prayer and to lay aside my pride and ask others to pray for me. By the end of the day, the situation I had asked to be prayed for had definitely made some turns for the better. Would this have happened without prayer? Perhaps. Was it worth praying about and believing God would be in that situation for me to lean on? Definitely.

The second time was just this evening when I was at a meeting and one of the group wrapped up the meeting in prayer. She felt led to pray for each person individually, and her prayers for me were exactly what my heart has been longing for lately, and I hadn't even shared that specifically with her. Once again, I felt God letting me know that he's "on it". It just drives me closer into his embrace.
