Answered Prayers

Prayer requires practice and passion, but it also requires patience. God will reward the faithful and fervent prayers with fulfillment.

Luke 11:9-10  And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

We are encouraged to ask, seek, and knock. Each of these verbs speaks of a continual action, an ongoing process.

Notice: “every one that asketh receiveth”. That’s pretty simple but also extremely profound

The Lord wants us to come before Him with our needs in an attitude of faith, believing that He will hear and answer our prayers. Jam.4:2

Two nights ago I woke up with an annoying headache. I said, “Lord God Almighty, if you will, please take away this headache.” I expected it to be done and it was. Prayer answered.

Today my doctor showed me the Pathology Report declaring no cancer anywhere after the surgical removal of a rare cancer. Prayer answered.

God has answered many prayers in my life. His answer isn’t always what I expected, but it’s always what I need. God is good.
