Answer to a small prayer makes me know God is working on my big prayers!
Of course, it is all the same to God, but today I was out of sage!! How can a true southern lady be out of sage?!?!?! The reason I have been out is because the price is so astronomical, and I have been looking for economical sage for months! Before I left the house going to the local grocery store, I asked God for cheaper sage. When I got there, they had a bottle about an inch high for over $5!!! I started to settle for a bottle of poultry seasoning, and looked up, and there was a three-inch high bottle for $1.29!! I was so happy, and on the way out of the store, I realized that my God, Who is omnipresent, present in all places AND all times, already knew I was going to pray that prayer and had it waiting on me!!
Sage is not necessarily important in the scheme of life, but this bottle of sage served as a raindrop!
On the way out of the store, it hit me that the God Who can answer about sage and have it in the store before I even pray the prayer is answering my prayer about the prodigal for whom I pray daily. In fact, I know He is. Just Wednesday, I got a call that let me know that God is answering a HUGE prayer for this person's life!! It is HUGE, and this person's coming back to God is happening quickly!!
I am SOOOO very thankful to God for this raindrop, but even more thankful for answered prayers!!

I heard this new song from Chris Tomlin this morning, and I had to post! There have been so many times lately that seem I am not just getting raindrops but a deluge!! I hope you enjoy the song!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NJUbvbW8Tg)
Oh God, my God I seek You
I wanna move when You move
You're more than I could long for
I thirst for You
You're an ocean to my soul
To my soul
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Running wild and free
You hear my heart when I call, when I call
Deep calls to deep
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Raining down on me
Waterfall, waterfall
Oh God, my God I seek You
In this dry and desert land
You lead me to streams of mercy
Once again
You're an ocean to my soul
To my soul
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Running wild and free
You hear my heart when I call, when I call
Deep calls to deep
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Raining down on me
Waterfall, waterfall
It's coming like a flood
I'm dancing in the rain
Everything I've done
Is covered in rivers of grace, amazing
It's coming like a flood
I'm dancing in the rain
I lift up my hands
Your love never changes, amazing
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Running wild and free
You hear my heart when I call, when I call
Deep calls to deep
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Raining down on me
Waterfall, waterfall
Oh God, my God I seek You
I wanna move when You move
You're more than I could long for
I thirst for You
You're an ocean to my soul
To my soul
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Running wild and free
You hear my heart when I call, when I call
Deep calls to deep
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Raining down on me
Waterfall, waterfall
Oh God, my God I seek You
In this dry and desert land
You lead me to streams of mercy
Once again
You're an ocean to my soul
To my soul
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Running wild and free
You hear my heart when I call, when I call
Deep calls to deep
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Raining down on me
Waterfall, waterfall
It's coming like a flood
I'm dancing in the rain
Everything I've done
Is covered in rivers of grace, amazing
It's coming like a flood
I'm dancing in the rain
I lift up my hands
Your love never changes, amazing
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Running wild and free
You hear my heart when I call, when I call
Deep calls to deep
Your love is like a waterfall, waterfall
Raining down on me
Waterfall, waterfall

Prayer works!!
I have had three prayers answered, and it has built my faith!!
A couple of months ago, someone told me about their hours being cut at work, and I began to pray. This person's second job began giving more hours, and another job came along to help fill in the gaps. These are not necessarily permanent solutions, but God is showing Himself as Jehovah Jireh to this person and to me!!
Then, this morning, I received a phone call from a friend whose hours had been cut at work to the point that it was believed the job was about to be lost. I began to pray, and this morning I was informed that all the hours have been restored!! The boss is finding nit-picky things to keep my friend busy and working, and I know this is in answer to prayer. My friend even joked that she needed to talk to me because I have been praying, that she was kind of enjoying the extra hours at home!
I know I am not the only person praying regarding these two situations, but I might be the only one praying this specific prayer for the next answer, and it helps me know God is listening to MY prayers. I have been praying in regards to a prodigal, inviting God to work in every moment of that life, day and night. Last night, I got to talk to this person and was told about something that happened during the previous night that pointed him/her to God!! God is incredible, and He answers prayer!
He listens and answers your prayers, too!
