Then we are to go about our duties, assured that the blessing will be realized when we need it most. When we have learned to do this, we shall know that our prayers are answered. DA 200

Show me how you feel about what I am facing or where I have been? What truth about your character and heart are you showing me today as I am experiencing transformed into your likeness?
