god listens, god delivers. prayers dont go out of our mouths and get lost.

19 The next morning the Israelites got up and pitched camp near Gibeah. 20 The men of Israel went out to fight the Benjamites and took up battle positions against them at Gibeah. 21 The Benjamites came out of Gibeah and cut down twenty-two thousand Israelites on the battlefield that day. 22 But the men of Israel encouraged one another and again took up their positions where they had stationed themselves the first day. 23 The Israelites went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and they inquired of the LORD. They said, "Shall we go up again to battle against the Benjamites, our brothers?"
The LORD answered, "Go up against them."

24 Then the Israelites drew near to Benjamin the second day. 25 This time, when the Benjamites came out from Gibeah to oppose them, they cut down another eighteen thousand Israelites, all of them armed with swords.

26 Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, and there they sat weeping before the LORD. They fasted that day until evening and presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings [c] to the LORD. 27 And the Israelites inquired of the LORD. (In those days the ark of the covenant of God was there, 28 with Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, ministering before it.) They asked, "Shall we go up again to battle with Benjamin our brother, or not?"
The LORD responded, "Go, for tomorrow I will give them into your hands."

lol i realized that i posted this without acutally writing wut i thought. so. these people prayed for victory overbenjamites and so first time...fail. so what did they do next? they didnt blame god and give up. they cried out louder and got down lower. and god answered and rocked them. lesson? well. its kind of obvious. for me i always pray for stuff...not always happens what do i do? i usually stop being in my human mind i think in such a small perspective that i dont really have the large picture(only god could really have the large picture but..yea) and so when i pray for somethign i resolve to pray until it is done. to fast and pray for the things we want god to deliver us from to give us victory praise god because theres a huge book that accounts for everytime he was there.
