Answer to prayer about asking God to show me His Hand in things

Ok, so I have to share! I prayed the other night that God would start to show me His Hand working in everything and my 7 year old daughter was grumbling to me about how life was so much better before her little brother and how he gets all the attention. At first I had no idea how I should respond but then God just gave me the perfect words and just spoke through me to her. I told her that she knows that's not true and that she also gets lots of attention and that satan was just being sneaky in trying to steal the joy of having a sibling away from her and that he was whispering the lies into her ears about her brother getting more attention than her but they weren't true. I told her that she can fight his lies by recognizing them and saying, "not today satan!"
She promptly yelled that phrase just then with great  gusto and a little later she heard my husband and I arguing over something dumb and she said, "you and dad need to say 'not today satan!' "
We laughed in recognition and told her, "that's right! See? Isn't he sneaky? Thanks Rachel! How bout you remind us and we'll remind you? We can fight satan's lies with God's Truth!"
She excitedly reminded us of how even Jesus was lied to by satan and that He fought it with The Word of God and she even started quoting some Bible verses she remembered on it!
I was so proud of her and a while back she was asking to be baptized but we thought she was a bit young still. Tonight though I am starting to see that it needs to happen.
So that's the first thing. Now the second:
Tonight I was praying for a friend of mine who has been under the bondage of addiction to something that is harmful to physical health. My husband and I just began praying like normal but then I started to strongly feel Gods Presence with us and I started passionately calling to Him in prayer that He would deliver the land from sickness and lead His people to shine His Light into the world that others might see it and come to Him too. That they would then be healed and shine His Light so that another generation would see it, come to Him and be healed and that His Light would be spread this way, in ripples that go out and heal the world.
Anyways, it was a powerful time and I guess I wasn't totally prepared when I asked Him to show me His Hand in things for Him to do it so strongly and quickly!
