Million Dollar Question

The Girls are in 5th grade this year. Since school has started, two weeks ago, a child has been crying while doing homework. It has mostly been Jordan. She is so emotional and hard on herself. She sees her homework and freaks if something looks hard or she makes a mistake. I have said everything I could say to try and help her get through this, except for one thing. While putting her to bed a couple nights ago, I told her that if she was giving everything she could and doing her best and things still weren't going her way and the tears keep coming to ask God for help. I told her that when times are tough and I am lost and don't know what else to do or need to change the way I feel or look at something that I say a prayer. I ask God for help, because we can't do it all on our own. She then responded with the common, Million Dollar Question; "How do I know when God is answering my prayers?" Oh boy, how do I answer this is what went through my head. I did give her an answer that I feel was a good one, but it is such a hard thing to talk about. In the end, it was a good talk and she felt better. I hope she remembers to give it up to God in the future! Love you Jo Jo! You are so smart! You can do it!
