I spent several hours preparing to list some of our income producing properties for sale. We have a lot on our plate and wanted to give ourselves some breathing room. I hesitated because it’s a lot of work and coordination to sell rental duplex property. Our daughter and grandson live in one of them, so I asked if I could use her apartment for pictures. She was very accommodating about it and said she would do a thorough cleaning and stage it for me. I didn’t know she was upset about it and praying for God’s help. I had everything set up on the multiple listings, exterior photos, showing details, and more, and was ready to press the button to send it all over the internet when Richard came home. I showed him the listing and the numbers, and we discussed it and decided not to sell them. When I told our daughter we had changed our minds, she was relieved to tears. God had answered her prayer, and she knew it! Here we were, thinking we had made the decision, but it was God working on behalf of our daughter. When you think God doesn’t hear you, he shows you that he’s faithful to the people he loves and the people we love. God is working behind the scenes on your behalf too. Don’t be discouraged; sometimes, he has to coordinate the details to be able to answer your prayer. His work began before you finished your request. He’s a good Father.

Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear. Isaiah 65:24
