An Answer to a Prayer – 18 Years Later

For 3 years, we prayed for another child. And then you came – God’s answer to our prayer.

“Who Me?” you probably ask when we tell you that.

“I don’t know if I want to be an answer to anybody’s prayer,” you probably think.

But God Elohim, mighty and strong, created and preserves you

Almighty God El Shaddai is all-sufficient to ALL your needs

He is Adonai, master over your destiny

who as Jehovah-Jireh foresees every challenge you will face, every choice, whether good or bad, and provides a way back home

where as Jehovah-Rophe He will welcome you, wrap you in both his arms and heal your wounds, both self-inflicted and inflicted by others

and as you heal in the shadow of His presence

Jehovah-M’Kaddesh will sanctify you, make you pure and whole in His sight

until, finally, you find peace in the presence of Jehovah-Shalom

the answer to a prayer fulfilled, made whole, perfected

you with the mighty strength He put within you

with agile swiftness

A heart for the hurting or downtrodden

and all else he put within you

loyalty, faithfulness, nobleness

will be used by God to answer many prayers

We will just know that God used you to answer our prayer first
