Yesterday afternoon our dryer stopped working. It had been making a funny noise for a few months. I didn't think anything of it actually. It was drying the clothes, end of story right? Wrong! We do not have the money to replace or fix any broken appliance right now so I sort of panicked a little. The Hubs called his dad and he had some good ideas. We went downstairs and took off the back of the dryer. The Hubs noticed the belt was WAY too loose. So he went to work. I went back upstairs to cook dinner. While I was browning the meat I had an overwhelming feeling that I needed to kneel and pray that he would be able to fix the dryer. I went in my room and knelt.
Heavenly Father knows all! He can help us with anything and everything and so I told the Lord that if He could help Nephi build a boat surely he could help The Hubs fix the dryer. Right? YES!!! God is good! And the dryer is working again.
I know God answers prayers. I know that nothing it too trivial for the Lord. He is waiting for us to ask. He knew we needed help so why did I have to pray to Him? He can only help us if we ask him. I think of my 6 year old. I know when he needs help but I don't jump in to help every time. Sometimes I do and sometimes God does too. But when I see my son struggling I simply remind him he needs to use his "words" and ask for help. The same goes for us. I felt prompted to use my words to pray for help and the Lord helped us in our time of need.
