Prayer!

No matter how insignificant you think it is, pray about it. What matters to you, the Lord understands and knows the righteous desires of your heart and will answer those prayers!

I'm so grateful for the power of prayer!

Today was insane. I had three different assignments all due before 4 pm. One of them consisted of three different summaries/analyses of three different (annoyingly long) readings. That and some chemistry lab make-up work. I was stressed. I even woke up at 4 this morning to read and start on those papers but alas I was too tired to do any good and managed to fall back asleep till 8. Eek!
I have class straight from 9 till 1 leaving a few precious hours to finish my chemistry lab work and those writing assignments from 1 to 4. Distressed and feeling incredibly anxious, I didn't think I'd be able to put two sentences together any way let alone pull some kind of deep understanding from the readings (as was the intention of my professor) but what choice did I have?
I rushed home (seriously--running like a madwoman) after my last lecture. I sat down at my desk and said a prayer asking Father in Heaven to help me understand what I was reading and to be able to focus so that I might be able to finish and turn my assignments in on time.

It was a mad rush of typing and computing numbers, tying sentences together, and working on chemical equations. I felt calm, I was focused, and I knew what to write about. Beautiful.
I finished with an hour to spare--I had never written one of those summaries/analyses so quickly before. They usually take me about an hour each--somehow I had written 3 in under two hours! And my lab? It just clicked!

I even managed to turn my writing assignments in just as my professor was leaving (early!!) for the day! I arrived at his office just in time, thankful that he seemed to have been delayed due to engaging in a conversation with a coworker. The Lord is looking out for me.

I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father answers prayers no matter how seemingly small or insignificant my worries are.
What a blessing!

The Lord answers little girls' prayers. :)
