Prayers God has answered recently (lest we get to thinking God isn't answering prayers):

Was able to buy the new glasses I needed by saving money (in past someone else had to help me pay).

Someone came forward to give me FREE driving lessons, and, though, not a professional, he is very good! I have been praying to get my license almost since I the day came on this site (2003), and now it is coming to fruition. I have the drive, desire, everything needed to get it this time!

My headache of this morning went down before becoming full blown migraine, so I was able to drive (answered TODAY!!!)

Successful driving lessons. The guy taking me out driving says I am doing awesome.

Got this lap top I am now typing on. And right on time, too! My tower computer died shortly thereafter.

Finished writing my story this year, the year of completion. (Thanks for your prayers.)

Had an awesome time with God on Saturday (have been asking Him to draw me aside to spend time with Him).

I was thinking of another thing He answered prayer for: My family was able to pitch in so all who want to can go to the Michael W. Smith concert coming December 15.

I have a sneaking hunch He is sending me another blessing that I never expected. I have been trying to find cheap purple dishes, because I want to have a shindig for my birthday, and purple is my favorite color, and I want to serve food on purple dishes. Only, affording them is the thing. . . . When I hinted at trying to find some cheap dishes on line, my niece told me, emphatically, "Don't buy any dishes!" Hmm. . . This and other comments lead me to believe I will be getting purple (or some shade or hue thereof) dishes.

I was hoping this could be a praise report thread for all of us. Because someone had posted that they didn't believe God was answering prayers anymore. So feel free to share the answers to prayer in your life as well.

Lord i thank You for blessing me in so many ways. I thank You for my salvation and Your constant love, mercy, grace, forgiveness. For your faithfulness, for carrying me through so many difficult times and renewing my hope when i feel like giving up. I thank You for my family and friends and all our precious pets who have brought us so much joy over the years. For the compassionate care our beloved dog received when he got sick and was diagnosed with a brain tumor...and for every day we had with him, he was a true blessing in our lives and You answered so many of our prayers for him...and for us. Thank You for helping us through the loss of our sweet boy this year and for blessing us with our puppy and for healing her when she was so sick and we thought we might lose her. Lord, that was such a terrible time, there was so much going on all at once and at times i wondered if we would make it through. I am so thankful for prayers answered for my father and my mother in law and brother in law this year when they were having serious health problems. Thank You for providing us with medical care, medications, a home, food on the table each day, our vehicles and the ability to drive. For sustaining me through so many years of illness and depression, comforting me when i am sad or afraid and forgiving me when i complain.

Also Lord I thank You for answered prayer regarding our nephew who suffers from bipolar and has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for many years. We are thankful that he has come to the point where he is seeking help and staying on his meds and trying to get his life back on track. i am still believing for his salvation as well as the salvation of my unsaved family members and friends. i am thankful that my husband has started coming to church with me on occasion in recent years and has attended some Christian music concerts with me at church this year. It has been so wonderful going to church together! i pray our children will return to church one day soon and recommit their lives to You instead of chasing after worldly things that bring only emptiness.

Thank You for this anointed prayer forum, Pastor Jerry and all the dedicated prayer warriors and moderators who intercede for those needing prayer and encouragement. And thanks for leading me here Lord and the priviledge of interceding for others. Your mercies are new every morning. Praise, honor and glory to Your everlasting name!

Thanks for sharing those wonderful praise reports of how God has come through for you! God is SO good! I just can't understand someone saying He isn't answering prayer anymore. He may not answer in just the way WE want in just the time WE want, but He is a good God, and He is answering in the ways best for us, even if we can't see it now.

I realized that I am coming out of a desert experience. At least two years spent wandering in the desert, trying to find Him, trying to find water to drink, coming through wind & sand storms. . . . Struggling with so much stuff and feeling spiritually dry at the same time. So much hit our family and my personal life, and at the same time, God seemed to remove His Presence. I would seek Him, and I just couldn't seem to "find" Him. I had a vision of being in a wind & sand storm, and it was night, too. I saw a figure ahead of me, straining to see through flying sand. It was Jesus. But He didn't stop and let me catch Him. He disappeared. And I struggled on, slept in the protection of a rock. But I realized why He had shown me Himself and disappeared. He was going on ahead to what He had for me at the end of the desert. He had a place and plan and purpose for me on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DESERT (which is why I had to go through it). So I kept moving, trying to follow Him, trying to get where He was. I hit an oasis, but someone said it wasn't the promised land and to keep moving. Don't camp there. I would feel little bits of His Presence but not enough. So, still thirsty, I would keep going, trying to get OUT of the desert. I realized last night, when praying, that I felt His Presence STRONG, STRONG. I have been feeling Him close enough to touch many days recently. So I must be out of the desert.

I have finished the story, just praying for the next step.

I am taking driving lessons, just praying to pass drive test.

I feel like these two things are dove tailing into a plan God has had for me for years. I can see it coming together in a special way at a special time.

It is so much on my mind to move to California. I just can't get it out of my head (and it's been in my spirit for years), and I know I will need to be able to drive if I am moving to an unfamiliar place.

I even felt like God told me once that once I got my license, I would get my husband (because no wife wants to end up house bound, because she can't drive). Well, I am wondering, seriously, if this is why I haven't met him all these years.

Anyway, God knows all the details, and so much seems to be coming together right now for me to move into the further things He has for me.

We all go through dark times or dry times or difficult times....but that doesn't mean God isn't answering prayer!!!
