Today I Realized

God  heard everything I ever said to Him.

He heard every single word.
All the prayers I had ever prayed.

In fact, even those prayers that were no more than a groaning within my spirit born deep from my heart. 

HE heard them ALL.

Staring out my car window. Surrounded by a host of rush hour traveler's speeding past. Everyone in a hurry. Everyone going somewhere important to them - and today? Me, on my way to nowhere important really. It just HITS ME   *wham*    Like someone is playing a movie in my car and the screen is my windshield.

Strangest darn thing. 
I mean seriously - like yesterday in Target, only different. THIS time I start to see (remember) times and circumstances in my life that have been or are difficult or hurtful. 

THEN I SEE  (This is SOOOO cool) prayers I prayed! 

I  actually saw prayers that I had prayed, like written down.
The words flash across the screen (windshield).
I also saw (was reminded of) dreams the Lord had given me about such times - and - the VICTORIOUS outcome!

That's when I realized.

Everything I have been going through. 
Every trial - every hardship and tribulation, they were more than "just allowed" by God to build character - they were, ARE in fact, ANSWERS TO PRAYER - I was being given (strange as it was) a very unusual vision experience in my car - and  -because of it; 

TODAY I REALIZED - God hears my every prayer.

I will not pretend to understand how He works. 
I am just thankful He does and always amazed and so very humbled when He does.

I have prayed some pretty, well actually very serious prayers. 
God has taken them to heart. 
So I expect I will see some pretty serious trials and testings.

I suppose at this point I'm just glad I made it to where I was going without causing a major wreck on the interstate!
