There is a very sobering and humbling reality to answered prayer, a moment of awe when you see your answer and realize that Someone was listening to you.

The sun comes up. It’s a new day dawning. Time to sing Your song again! Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes.
