I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the LORD. (Psalm 27:13-14 NASB)

The LORD has heard my supplication, the LORD receives my prayer. (Psalm 6:9 NASB)

these words encouraged me today when i was blog hopping.... for those who are praying, have been praying for some time... take heart, God has heard your prayers....

when you pray for rain, carry an umbrella.... from the same post on that blog....
