Your not alone

It is always wonderful when the Lord answers pray.  Grant it many times we don't recognize our prayers have even been heard, other times the answer we get just isn't "our answer". So what does this have in relation to not being alone?

This is the answer the Lord has given to my prayer!  I didn't ask " Lord why am I alone?" or " who is here to help?". So what was my prayer?  Well, I have been praying for the Lord to show me what I need to work on.  Now the list I can say is very long, I am very far from being perfect.  But our loving God still is here for me; just as He promises he always will be.  It took a while to see just how much of an issue this really is for me.  This feeling that no one can understand what is going on when I can not even understand, when there are no answers to give reason and understanding to my problem. 

Certainly, we all go through situations where we feel like we are the only ones who deal with these problems.  Parenting is a top that comes to mind.  I was reading on a blog I follow {meaningful mama - love her blog} where she talked about this very topic.  While I read I felt as if I could relate on many levels.  I have friends who I will share my parenting struggles with; who have been there done that.  They do understand, and some are going through it with me.  I am not alone in these parenting up and downs as I trying to raise the wonderful girls God has given to me.

While yes sometimes I feel like my kids must be the most out of control children around I think God is trying to get me to look at something else.  I truly cherish the way our Lord works and gives us such grace and is so merciful.
