Prayers are Answered

So, I know that may sound like kind of a silly blog title. I mean, we are always taught that Heavenly Father hears all of our prayers and He answers all of them in His own time and His own way. I have always believed that and will always believe it. However, I often struggle with this. Either I feel I don't receive answers or I am too caught up with my own life to recognize the answers. Despite this, I know there are prayers of mine that without a doubt have been answered. All that being said gives a proper background for this post.

So, lately I have been having a lot of personal struggles. I don't really feel like going into details because I am too personal for that. Some people may know me well enough to know that I have been struggling while others may not have any idea. Either way, I apologize for not disclosing any more information. Anyway, in my usual selfish way, I take my struggles to prayer last. (I know, that is backwards, but I have already admitted that I have prayer issues.) So, finally after probably about nearly a month of trying to handle my struggles on my own, I decided to pray about it.

Again, without going into details, last week, I got that wonderful warm fuzzy tingly feeling all over me. I knew, right then, without any doubt that my Father in Heaven had heard my prayer; that He is mindful of my needs and struggles; and He is answering my prayer and helping me. I have remembered and kept that feeling with me throughout my last week. It has HELPED so much just knowing that He is aware of me.

I am not saying that my issues are resolved, but they have been made manageable. So, if during the week, there is a day that is particularly hard, I remember that wonderful feeling, and I try harder to take the matter to my Heavenly Father sooner. Again, sorry that I have been vague, but I just had to share.
