prayer

Recently I have been praying about something specific that I've NEVER prayed about before.  Prayer has been such an important tool for me my entire life, and lately my answers haven't been coming automatically.  Last time I prayed for something important (about a month ago) my answer came two weeks later - so unexpectedly.  But it was exactly what I needed to hear.
So this time around when I'm praying, even harder than I did a month ago, and the answer isn't coming, I'm taking the answer to my last prayer as help for what to do about this one.  Just be patient.
Prayer is so important to me, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to talk to my Heavenly Father, to ask Him questions and to seek his guidance about important things in my life.  Cause this thing I'm praying for right now - it's a big deal.  One of the biggest decisions I'll ever make in my entire life, so I need to be patient and understand that the right answer will come in time.

"Thankfully, we can call upon Him anytime, anywhere. 

We can speak to Him in the quiet thoughts of our mind and from the

deepest feelings of our heart.... The peace God speaks to our minds 

will let us know when decisions we have made are right, when our course is true."
