Blessing #8

I am a little behind in my blessings-but this week I have so much to be grateful for that it will be easy to catch up! Blessing #8 is answered prayers. I am so grateful for answered prayers. There have been times in my life when I am praying for something and hoping that I will get this amazing answer and direct communication from my Heavenly Father and receive a clear answer....but then I make my own decisions and realize that the peace that I feel with my decisions and the absence of a stupor of thought IS the answer to my prayer. Lately, I have been lead and guided by my Heavenly Father in a way that I have never been before and so today I am grateful for answered prayers. I know that he knows me and knows what I need and he trusts me and I feel him all the time but lately there have been things weighing on my mind that I needed more and he gave me more. I am so grateful that I am not alone. None of us are. I am grateful to a loving Heavenly Father that will never leave us-all we need to do is ask and we will receive.
