Answer to a Prayer

In prayer this morning
I said quietly to My God,
“Look, if all these things aren’t possible
that’s okay.”

As I drove down the mountain
at Hannahstown
on my way to work
I saw a sunrise
that was truly spectacular.
The whole of the sky over East Belfast
glowed,
a stunning orange,
like hot coals on a fire.
It was a magnificent, radiant panorama,
a sunrise steeped in “wow-factor”!

I felt that My God
had exploded into my morning
in answer to my quiet prayer,
proclaiming at the top of His voice,
“Claire, it’s all possible!”
It felt as if the sky was celebrating,
broadcasting His presence
to the world,
announcing all of the hope
that My God has to offer
to all of us.

My heart sang within me
as I continued on my journey
to work.
