With accelerating technology all around us it is common to see everyone using their phones in one way or another. Not just for texting and talking but also for jotting down a note, registering for an appointment, booking a reservation, checking a date on your calendar or even filling out an application…..and the list goes on. Our phones have become a useful device that we can’t seem to live without. I never thought it would become that way for me but I guess it has because….I am constantly looking for my lost phone. It is now a fact that it is generally easier to get through each day by using our phones. But how often do we take the time to call Heaven?
Our Father in Heaven desires for all of His children to call home. He wants to hear of our daily events, and our triumphs and struggles. He listens every time we pray even when we feel like He isn’t listening. But He answers in His own way and His own time according to what is best for us. Hopefully we take a moment or two each day to set our cell phones down and call Heaven.
Our prayers will not always be answered according to our desires but they will always be answered according to what is best for us. I personally prayed for my three children to live….but they died. I prayed for my husband to be cleansed from his cancer infested body but he passed away. At first I was angry but as I look back I see blessings and lessons learned by myself and others that might not have been received and taught any other way.
I am so grateful that when I kneel down to call my Father in Heaven and check in, I am certain He is listening and will answer me when the time is right and according to what is best for me. That is a fact that I can always count on. He loves you with a perfect love and He wants you to call him!!! Prayer is the way we can feel connected to our Father in Heaven and our Savior. I testify that these things are true.
God’s number is 22211…. 2 bended knees, 2 folded arms, 2 closed eyes, 1 bowed head, 1 contrite spirit.
