Prayers Do Get Answered

Near the start of the month I was thinking of a friend who used to come to our Church. I was brainstorming what I could do to invite her back. I had seen her around the high school but never really got to talk to her a lot. We didn’t hang out in the same friend-groups and I didn’t have any classes with her. I thought, “What can I do?” I prayed that I would know what I could do. After praying I thought of inviting her to Mutual or Church but didn’t feel like that would work. Finally the thought came to me, "She knows about the Church. She knows she can come to you or your friends about it. If she needs it, she knows where to get it." I felt peace. I knew that was the answer. Pushing too much could push her over the edge and she’d never come. Now I wait and I prepare for when she could need me again. I keep myself open and ready for anything. I know there will be a time when she will come and need someone and I can be there. I know that God answered my prayer and it was the right answer. It brought me peace.
