Hereıs an interesting question: Does God answer every prayer?
If you said no, what you might mean is that God does not answer every prayer the way you want it to be answered! The Bible shows us three ways that God answers prayers:
God says yes! What a wonderful blessing it is when we get to see God answer a prayer in the very specific way we asked.
God says no. Our Heavenly Father knows best, and sometimes he chooses to say no to a prayer. Can you think of a time that God did not grant your request and you were later thankful?
God says later. Many times in the Bible God waited long periods of time to answer prayers. Oftentimes this allowed other important things to happen that the individuals could not see, but were necessary for Godıs protection. Sometimes God delayed the answer to allow for personal growth and dependence on Him.
When you pray, you can be confident that God is listening, and He WILL answer. Trust Him enough to know that He will answer with your best interest in mind. Thank Him for it.
Many people never keep track of their prayers, and therefore donıt even realize how many of their prayers God has answered in a wonderful way. Keep a prayer journal to document Godıs work in your life.
Pray that God will take your prayer life to a new level of intimacy
