Answered Prayers

My friend stopped by because she was frustrated with not having a phone.  She had lost her fancy expensive one and then bought a new one that didn't work.

She used my phone to straighten out the new problem phone but before she left, we prayed.  We prayed for her to get back the lost phone, for God to send her phones and for a financial increase.

Within a week, she received more money, four phones and her favorite one returned through a series of miracles.  However, she now finds having five phones to keep track of stressful.

While her prayers were answered and this problem is small, on a larger scale getting a, "Yes," to our prayers could lead to serious unforeseen consequences.  Maybe we should be thanking God when He says, "No."
