BLESSED ASSURANCE

Today's reading: Daniel 9-12

"Then he said, Don't be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you began to pray for understanding and to humble yourself before God, your request has been heard in heaven..." Daniel 10:12 NLT

I don't know about you, but when I'm not seeing answer to prayer, the next best thing is knowing--without a doubt that--that my prayers are being heard.

By God.

In heavenly realms.

That they are going higher than the ceiling.

That they are making more sense than the mumbling attempts I am uttering.

That the Holy Spirit is unjumbling the words and needs I have and presenting them as a sweet smelling fragrance to my Savior.

And in knowing that, I can wait for Him to act--or for Him to rework me and change my needs.
