prayer works!

i've been struggling for the past several months, probably even over a year, with prayer. not only do i feel uncomfortable when praying outloud, but i don't understand why prayer works if God already knows everything. i've been told prayer works, so i think i tried to believe it in my head, but my heart was doubtful.

well, tonight God answered my prayer by answering a prayer!! a friend was having a hard time this afternoon so i told her i would pray and i did right then. i stopped and really took time to pray for her, not just a "fly by" prayer, but a real, thoughtful, hopeful prayer. about 30 minutes later, she texted me back this: "Did you? Because it's weird but I've felt so much better like this past half hour" she further explained the lasting peace that she's had for the rest of the day. my mind was pretty much blown. i am speechless. like what just happened? God moment just happened yo!!!

so yeah...God answered TWO prayers tonight!! i KNOW that He answers prayer. i'm still struggling with WHY, but i know He DOES.
