Do you count your blessing and the answers of prayer? We Christians should include our blessing and praises when we prayer to God. We should give our thanksgiving and praises to Him, because God’s hand is in our lives. God probably did answer your prayers differently than what you or I would aspect, but His plans and guidance; He does have a reason for the way He answers our request.

                For example; you or I when we get thirsty we would go to the frig or to the sink for a glass of water… but the Israelites’ had a different approached, they just complaining to Mosses for their request of water (Exodus 17:1-7). So the Lord told Mosses to take His staff and hit the rock and water will flow for the people to drink…  Mosses did just as the Lord told Him and water was supplied for the people but they still had doubts if God does exist among them…

                Now God did answer their grumbling complaints, and gave the Israelites’ water to drink. Many would not aspect water coming from a rock, our water from the kitchen sink or frig… but regardless of how God answered our prayers, we should give Him thanks for answer our needs during each moment of prayer.
