Prayers Answered for Matthew and Family

The pediatric cardiologist said that Matthew's heart sounds fine, now. Either he did not have a murmur to begin with or it was while we were praying. Frankly, it sounds very much like God often quickly answers prayer in ways we cannot imagine, as in Jeremiah 33:3, "'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." (NIV). He also answers sooner than we think possible. "Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." (Isaiah 65:24, NIV).

The cardiologist wants a follow-up appointment in six months, but is more concerned about Matthew being so sleepy that he has not been taking much nourishment.

Thank you all for praying and we praise God for answered prayer for Matthew's physical heart as well as for God giving peace to Matthew's immediate family as promised in Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!" (NLT).

As in the doxology:

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above you heavenly hosts.
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen. Amen"
