Have you ever felt that your prayers have been answered? I bet you all have! I really felt that this week - especially that prayers were being offered in my behalf. I know that I was praying, not only for myself but for all of you.
I had this dumb thing going on with my foot. I was so proud of myself for being able to walk to work every day and to go out with my friend walking in the evenings. Even though I could feel some pain, I plowed through. Until I couldn't. A serious injury was suspected, but after an MRI on Monday and a doctor visit on Tuesday, they determined that it wasn't the serious injury, but only over-use, wear-and-tear on an already weakened, old foot. What a relief! It could have been so much worse. Now with a few exercises and icing, and limiting my walking for a while, I can recover. Whew!
Then on top of that I had this low-grade fever all week. Of course I suspected the worst, even though I didn't have any other symptoms. I quoting Aunt Geralee to myself - Don't Borrow Trouble! Then after a few days I started getting a mild toothache. Another Whew! Low-grade fever could also mean some kind of infection. So I called my dentist and got right in. He replaced some old fillings that probably had decay under them that could cause an infection and pain.
Alyssa also wasn't feeling so great, so she and Chad went for a COVID-19 test. We were all worried and praying for them. Thankfully, their tests were negative. Another Whew!
Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. We have all felt that this week. I know I have. I've felt it in the sweet assurance and comforting influence of the Holy Ghost. It's not always this apparent and sometimes the answer is no - or not yet. We then learn to exercise our faith and continue to pray for understanding and clearer answers. And keep praying.
