As I said my personal prayer tonight giving thanks to my Heavenly Father and pleading for inspiration and answers for many things in my life, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming joy and thankfulness for many blessings. Some I didn't even realize until tonight. There is something very recent that I was blessed with that was a desire of my heart that to some may seem so simple or could even be considered a coincidence. But I know it was a direct blessing from my Heavenly Father to give me joy and happiness. He not only blesses me with my needs, but also my wants and righteous desires as long as it doesn't involve over-riding someone else's free agency. And when He's not able to give me a certain blessing, He blesses me with peace and lifts my burdens so that they are light and sometimes I don't even feel the weight of them. He blesses me with inspiration and direction. I know He answers my prayers.
I feel that by posting this message I am sharing some very personal thoughts that I usually would not post on my blog. I'm not really sure why I am sharing this tonight, other than I had a tremendous pull to post it (almost like when you're sitting in Testimony Meeting and just know you have to get up). Maybe someone who reads this needed to hear my testimony of prayer or maybe I just needed to see it put into words for me.

Thanks for sharing that. It's always good to hear when we realize direct blessings from Heavenly Father. I enjoyed your thoughts on that.
