Answered Prayer

Prayers wend like streams of consciousness through a day . . . thank you . . . help . . . guide . . . don’t let him crash and burn – don’t let him . . . please . . . glory . . . a husband’s thank the Lord upon good news of his wife’s surgery . . . I’m so grateful for you . . . the gentle talk among friends distracting a husband from clock counting awareness that carries on despite the kindness as the perpetual backdrop to each spoken word, each silent moment . . . let it be otherwise . . . worry transforms to pleading to prayer and mixes with the smoke of hope . . . and in the waiting time, when outcomes are unknown, there is rest and respite and the sense of prayer heard, prayer answered and all is as it is and that too is prayer and answer . . .
