This weekend, I was thinking about my former Bible teacher. As I often do, I break down in tears thinking about her. I deeply miss her. I cannot tell you the profound way she has impacted my life. I prayed to God, asking for her to be well. I also prayed I could find someone at Bible study who recently spoke to my teacher and had an update.
I was stunned when, unprovoked, someone gave an update about my former Bible teacher at Bible study. I was thunderstruck because it was an EXACT answer to my prayer.
Since hearing about our current Bible study teacher’s eye, I have prayed many times for her eye to have a full and complete healing. I asked God for her eye to be healed and her to be well enough to teach. I was overjoyed her eye was healed and that she was feeling better. She gave a fantastic lesson as always.
I also asked God if I should express to my Bible study teacher that I was praying for her. (I have many friends who get upset when I asked about their health. I did not want to do anything to bother my wonderful teacher.)
I again was flabbergasted she answered this prayer request when she expressed her gratitude to those who reached out to her concerning her eye.
I know God always hears our prayers, but still I am usually astonished that He answers in such a detailed way. Some people look for the big miracles. I smile when even my small, unimportant prayers are answered.
Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. (1 Chronicles 16:11)
