Answer to Prayer

Yesterday I prayed that I could have a surprise today.

And I got one.  Two actually.  So that is an answer to prayer. A check in the "yes" column for the prayer reports.

Unfortunately, both of them were unpleasant.  I learned that the pay I get for a job I do regularly will be cut by 66% and I learned that I had been lied to.  So technically, yes, I got two big surprises today and therefore, technically, the prayer was answered.

But I'm not exactly delighted with the way it turned out.
