small blessings

Philippians 4:6-7 (New International Version)
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

My thought on today's blog is a simple quick realization I had. I know I've always been taught to believe in prayer and that prayer really works but because I've never asked for big things i tended to over look the small things that were answers to prayer. As I went through this week one of these moments caught me and i realized how God is really there even if I don't think about it. I have been struggling with budgeting because before my recent move didn't really have to worry about it and my second job wasn't needing me like I thought they were so a big chunk of money I thought i was getting was missing. So one night as i was thinking about things and was trying to sleep I just stopped and said a little prayer in my head. I said lord just help me figure out what I need to do and for know give me peace of mind to sleep. The next morning i received a text from my on call job saying they would need me all week when I had the time to come in and they gave me a list of multiple other times they needed me as well as saying the would need me consistently for some Sunday dates. There census of patients had suddenly started to increase, which at first i thought nothing of it because that can happen in nursing homes but realized that I had just been a part of a small blessing from God because when it was worrying me and when I needed it most he blessed me with the extra hours to ease my mind. So I"m posting this story and the simple verse from Philippians to remind everyone what i was reminded of that we don't need to worry just pray and God will be there.
