The Shattered Fortress

What can I say? God answers prayer.

It's amazing to me. God has been faithful, even though I have often not. I have worried and stressed, even been angry at Him for not answering in my timing or in my way. Yet the answers come, and in ways much better than I'd imagined.

Has my condition changed? Yes, it has, and it has been and will be an enormous blessing. My overwhelming financial troubles have been lifted from me. Of this I became aware last week. Praise God! But now, even more profoundly, my outlook is beginning to change. This, too, was something I could not have done myself. For the first time in longer than I can remember, I feel empowered to make changes in my life and in the environment around me. I have a newfound inspiration to have a positive impact.

This radical change leads me cognitively to the prayer to which I gave voice only half a day ago. I long for a passion for God. But for a long time, I've been drained of passion for anything at all. Now, He has instilled in me a passion for hard work and stewardship. I believe this passion is a testament to His undying love for me; evidence that He is worthy of my love, worship, and praise.

I pray that I never forget this joy at how faithful He is.
