Be Careful How You Pray

You would think that by now I would know that I have to really think through what I am praying for and how I am praying.  You would think!!!

For the last several weeks I have been specifically praying (I do believe in being specific) that the Good Lord would let me know plainly whether I should be working outside the home or not.  I've, also, been praying for Him to make a way for my knees to be fixed.

So, now here I sit at my computer at home with a messed up knee (more damage than just severe arthritis) that the repair will be covered by Worker's Comp.  I'm off work for an indefinite period of time, also covered by Worker's Comp.

Not exactly how I envisioned the answer coming.  However, it still is an answer.

I was talking with a friend last night about this answer, and her immediate response was that she really needed to re-think the way she has been praying about something in her own life.

I'm not having any trouble being truly thankful for the time off of work, but I really am struggling with the answer on the knee.  AND, yes, I realize I wouldn't be having the time off except for the injury.  I know this, but the pain is so intense at times that it is hard for me to wrap my mind around the concept of the pain being an answer to prayer.
