My Favorite Bench At The Prayer Garden


I've sat on this bench for many hours begging God to change my situation. I did not get the answer I expected  but He changed my heart. He showed me the other side of where I was and I had a better perspective of things.

My situation did not improve but my heart did.

On this cozy bench adorned with white flowers, a miracle happened to me.

    I always feel so close to God in the garden. What a beautiful spot. God may not answer our prayers the way we think he should, but he always answers.

    I loved what you had to say. I agree. Prayers are not always answered in the way we think we want them to be. God usually answers in the way that is best for us.
