I want to share one of my Bible Studies from this morning. I was on the porch reading another one, and praying for all those who I know are in need. Asking God to heal those who need His healing touch and bring peace to those who need less stress in their life.
And then I read this one:

Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
"Sonya and I carried on a neighborly conversation over a wooden-rail fence we shared. Although we both try not to dip too deeply into the bucket of negative topics, soon we shared about some friends' sicknesses and misfortunes. After we said our goodbyes, my heart ached, wishing there was something I could do to help.
I slumped at my desk while finishing off my day's work and was greeted with a chime announcing an incoming email. It was from Sonya. "What a great idea! It gives hope that something good is going on in the world." she wrote. I opened it to discover a link to a video featuring a new invention called an 'ambulance drone.'
The video showed a flying robot that could be dispatched as a first response from a hospital for patients who were suffering from cardiac arrest. The built-in GPS system guided the flying miniature ambulance, which resembled a two-foot-wide flying saucer, to the patient's side. The response time was only minutes. Voice instructions told a bystander how to use the defibrillator, which was housed inside.
AS I marveled at the technology, God whispered to my spirit, That's what prayer is like. When you pray, heaven responds immediately and is on the scene. It's your first response for those people around you who are hurting. Instantly I started praying.
Thank you, Lord for being our lifesaving First Responder. Amen

After praying for all those on my extensive prayer list, and reading the above, I knew deep in my heart that God had responded to my prayers and Heaven was doing it's best to take care of those I prayed for.
God is so good!
I rarely say 'Amen' as I try to practice 'praying without ceasing' all day. God hears from me constantly!
Thank you God for showing me that my prayers are heard and are answered. I love you so much, Lord. My life is full of blessings and I am so grateful. Amen
