Ask and You Shall Receive!

He really does hear our prayers!!

Mark 11:22-25
"Have faith in God," Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, go throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."

What a lesson we have learned today! The air-conditioner in Jason's car went out a few days ago and he has been extremely irritable because of it. It just always seems like we get kicked when we are down! We barely have enough money to survive on day to day, and it was going to cost around $500 to get this fixed (or so we thought). Well, this morning Jason got into his car and decided to just turn the whole thing over to the Lord. He prayed, telling God that if this is what he wanted for us - we were okay with that.
While coming home for lunch today, Jason noticed that his turn signals were not working either - AHA...a fuse!! As soon as he got home, he looked in his owner's manual and, sure enough, the A/C and turn signals are on the same fuse...and there just "happened" to be a spare fuse in the box. You will never, ever convince me that this was NOT an answered prayer. Jason and I are fully convinced that God spoke to us today, reminding us to trust Him and not forget to ASK HIM when we reallly need something! He will always answer - maybe not in the way we expect, but he WILL answer!
