Hi,
I can't tell you how many times the Lord has done that kind of thing for me.
I have asked many times, upon missing something, that the Lord would put my
hand right on the thing I needed, and he did it, almost before I could
finish praying.
Remember, we were once lost, and He found us-we did not find Him.

Thinking more about this, today I was missing my house key which I had
dropped in my pocket after locking the door. When I got home I could find
it nowhere. I prayed, asking the Lord for his help, and could he please put
is so that I could lay my hand right on it. And, I had thought to put it in
my purse but got distracted. I looked in my purse before praying. My
husband looked as well. After praying, I opened up my purse for the last
time and my hand felt the key ring. It was where I had already looked. So
I know God did one of his small yet big miracles for me. Thank you Lord.
Even if it was there and I missed it, still, to find it... Wow!
I know that we have concentrated times of prayer. But some of our prayers
are in that category of "pray without ceasing." I believe God longs to hear
from us, his children. Sometimes in a personal relationship with someone
you find yourself just sitting down together and having a cup of coffee
enjoying one another's presence. So, prayer doesn't have to be all that
hard or complicated. It's part of co union. Still, wonder if my belief
system could use some examination. Just my thoughts here.

My left hand desk drawer has gotten pretty disorganized over the last few
months. Well, frankly, there is no real organization to the drawer to be
truthful about it. Anyhow, I had a package of rubber bands that were in a
zip lock bag than somebody unzipped so I had around a hundred rubber bands
flapping around like worms as I hunted for an item in my drawer. Papers
everywhere, my USB port for transferring books from my computer to my victor
stream or iPhone, a rubberized rolled up blue tooth keyboard, 3 by 5 cards
for short notes, A small wooden box that I keep my memory cards in that I
keep books on from NLS, and about a dozen other things. I could not find
the item in all the mess but I was positive I had seen it the other day by
accident, or as my kids used to say, and my younger grandkids still say, "On
accident." After about 60 seconds of making the mess into a bigger mess, I
realized I had not prayed so this time I did ask the Lord to put my hand on
it. As in almost every case, when such a specific petitionary request is
made, the very next thing I touch is what I am looking for in the first
place. Now, I ask you the same thing I asked myself today. If the Lord can
help me find something of no important, what why won't the Lord keep His
promises concerning answered prayer? Is what we believe involved with the
problem? Oh, surely not. Why, we be Christians; Bible believers we is. So
that surely ain't the problem. Right?
Phil.
