It may be, remember, that God has indeed answered but not in a way that is obvious to us. And it is possible that nothing is amiss in our praying, but that we haven’t yet seen the answer only because God intends for us to persevere in praying about the matter awhile longer. But we must also learn to examine our prayers. Are we asking for things that are outside the will of God or would not glorify Him? Are we praying with selfish motives? Are we failing to deal with the kind of blatant sin that causes God to put all our prayers on hold?

		Peanuts,raw
		Water

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash raw peanuts thoroughly in cool water; then soak in clean cool water
for about 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Put peanuts in a saucepan and cover completely with water. Because the
shells of some peanuts absorb more salt than others, it's best to begin
with 1 tablespoon of salt for each 2 cups of peanuts; you can add more salt
to taste later.
3. The cooking period for boiled peanuts varies according to the maturity
of the peanuts used and the variety of peanut. The cooking time for a
"freshly pulled" green peanut is shorter than for a peanut which has been
stored for a time.
4. When fully cooked, the texture of the peanut should be similar to that
of a cooked dry pea or bean. Boil the peanuts for about 35 minutes, then
taste. If they are not salted enough, add more salt. Taste again in 10
minutes, both for salt content and to see if the peanuts are fully cooked.
If not ready, continue tasting every 5 minutes until they have a
satisfactory texture.
5. Drain peanuts after cooking or they will continue to absorb salt and
become oversalted.
Notes: These are wonderful.  They sell for about a dollar or two per cup
around here, but you can make a lot for a fraction of the cost
