I was sitting in Sunday School at church last week feeling very overwhelmed with all the complexities of the life we are currently living. I have been struggling with keeping my anxiety and stress to a workable amount. So sitting in Sunday School alone I thought to myself, "I feel so alone right now. I just really wish Devan were here with his arm around me. I feel so calm when Devan touches me."
I didn't pray to God and ask Him to send Devan. I didn't really even think about praying at all. I knew that Devan was upstairs getting his lesson ready for Young Men's so it hadn't really even occurred to me that he could come down. I was just feeling sad and lonely.
Within two minutes Devan came in the room, sat down close to me, and put his arm around me. I kid you not. My own thoughts came back into my mind along with this additional thought: "I hear your thoughts and know the desires of you heart." I knew it was a tender mercy of the Father and I knew that He was telling me He loves me.
God answered my unspoken prayer -- a prayer I didn't even know I was praying. Our God is an awesome God.
I felt God's arm around me today.
