Answered Prayer

I praise God for the joy and peace of answered prayer.  I feel as if a burden was lifted today, because God answered my prayer regarding some challenges at work.   In the process, he also helped me to see how I could be more effective, if I ever have to face the same challenges again in the future.  And, more importantly, good co-worker relations were still able to be preserved, while resolving the issues.  I was able to make progress, by being patient and understanding, without being pushy or aggressive, and by still having an appreciative and encouraging attitude - kind of living out the fruits of the Spirit, in the midst of difficulties.  I was able to be consistent with who I am and came out with a good result.  That's what contributes to the peace and joy I am currently experiencing.  Praise God! Amen!
