Answered Prayers

Thrilled over an answered prayer, I mentioned to Ian how happy I was at the outcome, which was so much more than what I had hoped for. “Thank you, Lord.”

To which Ian commented, “My prayers are answered all the time, every day:  God’s will be done, God’s will be done, God’s will be done. Amen.”

As Pastor Amy reminded us at church one Sunday, “God’s perfect will.” That's the best answer there is.

Our Father, which art in heaven,

 Hallowed be thy Name.

 Thy Kingdom come.

 Thy will be done in earth,

 As it is in heaven.

 Give us this day our daily bread.

 And forgive us our trespasses,

 As we forgive them that trespass against us.

 And lead us not into temptation,

 But deliver us from evil.

 For thine is the kingdom,

The power, and the glory,

For ever and ever.

 Amen.
