"And his faith waxed confident in the Lord..."

My life is surrounded with thoughts about the house selling and how much we'll get out of it. This morning as I prayed, I felt assured that we would get what we need out of the sell of the house. Yesterday I called a realtor and scheduled a visit for Wed and in the meantime she sent a listing of houses that have sold or are on the market currently. I felt totally deflated and anxious after seeing them. As I closed the listings and my email, my thought was "He said it will be ok so it will, right?" And then my mind caught hold of memories from the night before.

A storm came through last night - an answer to prayer in and of itself - which caused the lights to flicker. Aaron said we need to say a prayer for the lights to stay on, so he said one. The lights flickered one more time and almost popped off but stayed on. Recognizing his prayer was heard, we said a thank you prayer and went on with eating our dinner. Some minutes later (maybe 10) the lights went completely out. I called the boys to me and Aaron said we needed to say a prayer again. As he completed his sentence pleading for the power to come back on the lights they did. He said 'Oh, well that was good!' and said thank you for answering his prayer so quick. Recognizing the power of his prayer, Aaron had the thought that he should pray that the power will always stay on. I told him that I don't think the Lord will guarantee that. At this point, Aaron had absolutely no doubt that the Lord would answer his prayer so he prayed for that as well and the power did stay on the rest of the night.

It warmed my heart to have his prayers answered so completely. The Lord heard his little son's pleading and loved to comply. And in return, Aaron's faith waxed confident in the Lord. How can I doubt or feel anxious when the Lord has given me assurance that it will work out? His words have proved true again and again. So, I put my faith and trust in the Lord and will do all I can to make my house desireable.
