When God shows he listens

Do you sometimes wonder if God hears you? Or if he is listening to you? Do you pray the same things over and over and wonder if he is answering your prayers? Well, I do.  And sometimes I do not know if he has answered them because I may be praying for someone in another country or for a patient or their family and may not see them again. 
But I do pray steadily for my family and my kids.  Especially since they are in DC.  So here is the story........
Erin went out with some of her classmates to go complete a "field trip" assignment.  They were going to take the metro but decided to take an uber instead.  When they told the uber driver where they needed to go, he asked them if they knew where they were going and if they knew about that part of the city.  He said that this was the worse part of town and they should google it.  So they did.  And it is a VERY BAD part of DC.  They told him they were originally going to take the metro and he told them that they probably would not have made it home safely if at all. 
I am so very blessed for that uber driver that was placed in Erin's path.  It could have been someone else just looking for a payout and not their safety, and who knows what would have happened.  God was there, protecting her which in turn protected Tyler because he was suppose to go out later that day for the same thing.  He didn't go. She came home.
I pray for their safety and for protection everyday.  I may not know how God is doing his work to answer my prayers, but I know this.....He is watching over them.

Psalm 121:8- The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Psalms 18:32- It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

Love to all,
