So, does God answer our prayers?

It's literally been a year and three months since a made my one and only entry (Till now) on this blog.  Interestingly enough, the entry was an obvious a prayer.  You can refer to it below.  Today I happened upon it and, to be quite honest with you, I had forgotten about it.  As I read the words that were the apparent cry of my heart at the time, I couldn't help but just shake my head and smile as I realized, once again, that God certainly hears the cries of each of our hearts.  Five months after I pushed the post link on this entry, God opened the door for me to return to the group with which I began ministering 20 years ago.  God has most definitely received the praise from my lips for allowing me to write and sing on a full time basis once again but after reading this, I was sweetly reminded of His heart for those of us His children.  I hope that someone might read this and see that yes, God hears us when we pray.  Be encouraged... we serve a living Lord.  Thank you Jesus for loving me the way that You do and thank you for hearing my heart's desire.  I'll sing of Your glory as long as You give me the strength to do so.
