A Prayer, A Promise, A Praise

When I thought about writing today's post on God answering prayers I thought of listing examples of prayers answered in my own life. But besides the fact that that list would take too long, I would surely miss some things that I never knew He did. And honestly that would not exactly be the most enthralling post you've ever  read.

So instead I decided to tell you about some prayers that God will answer for me. These are the things I am currently praying for. And since God promised many, many, many, many. many times and then some that He would answer our prayers I will go ahead and call Him on those promises and count these as answered.

• I was recently laid-off from work. It has been a month since I last worked and I need a job soon before our savings dry up.
• We just found out that we're expecting our second child. The first pregnancy wasn't easy and this one's off to a rocky start. 

Those are my two "big" prayers right now. But they are so much better because I know God will come through, He's already told me so and He has never let me down yet. I'll let you know when those promises take effect, but until then I'll keep praising Him for the answer He'll give.

What about you? What are you praising God for? What prayers of yours is He promising to answer?
