Wow, it's been to long since I have posted! I had been waiting for an inspiring thing to post here, and I got it this morning while doing a devotion with my family. This story is completely true, and it has encouraged me to pray. Because I know some one's listening.
A few years ago, a family in our church (the Ruths) lost a dear family member to cancer. Another family in our church (the Sanders) were good friends with the Ruths and were feeling the loss as well. Mrs. Sanders decided she wanted to do something to show the Ruths that they were thinking of them and praying for them in their time of need. For some reason, she really wanted to get them some Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. So they went to the mall and bought them some! When Mr. Sanders went to the door to drop them off, Mr. Ruth was very obviously puzzled. The next time they Mr. Ruth saw Mr. Sanders, he explained why he acted so. His young son, Preston (only about 7 at the time), had asked his dad for some cinnamon rolls. Being late in the evening the answer was no. He REALLY wanted those cinnamon rolls though! So Mr. Ruth told him to go pray and ask God to bring him some cinnamon rolls. And he did.
See?! God hears all of our prayers! Even innocent requests for cinnamon rolls from a child. So do you think God hears you?
