God DOES answer prayer!

How many times have you wondered why God did not answer your prayer?

I have the answer to that question. GOD always answers prayer, though not always in the way we expect. People often look for a desired result as the answer to prayer. And sometimes you do get a desired result, but, there are those times when the result is not quite what you expect.

God knows the desires of our hearts, He understands our needs and has promised to supply every one of them. Not just the financial ones, but the mental, emotional, relational and spiritual ones as well.

He cares about every detail of your life. How do I know this? Because His word says that the very hairs on your head are numbered. Meaning that, He not only knows how many hairs are on your head, He knows each one by number. Another way I know that He cares is because He said that not one sparrow can fall to the ground without His knowledge and that we are worth more than many sparrows! He is so awesome in that He cares about every creature, especially you and I.

I remember the time when I went through a 2 year period that was really a series of unfortunate events. I lost my job, then I could not find another one. I was in a terrible hit and run car accident. My father died (leaving nothing, so my family and I had to handle the financial obligations of a funeral), not to mention finding out how he died practically broke my heart, and the list goes on. It was a dark and trying time that was filled with tears and heartache. There were times that all I could do was pray and ask God for mercy. And you know what? He answered those prayers, miraculously.

The miracle was not in the fact that I finally got a job. The miracle was in the fact that HE SUSTAINED me through it all and I still had my right mind. The miracle was in the fact that though my money very tight, I was never hungry and I did not have to beg, borrow, steal or lay on my back to make ends meet. (I know that’s raw but you get my drift). God literally sent checks in the mail from various sources. There were even times when I found money on the ground. The miracle was in the fact that when I had reached my absolute breaking point (on several occasions), God sent people to keep me uplifted, Every day is filled with miracles… It may not look like you expected, but when you look a little closer, you will see the miracles.

Now, I know there are certain things you are praying for that will require a specific answer from God. You won’t want to be ‘sustained’ necessarily; you will want the exact solution you are asking for. Like the fact I want to get married one day. I need that prayer to be answered specifically with a wedding by the beach to the man of my dreams saying vows to me in front of God and my mama, followed by a beautiful life-long marriage. Ha! I am happy as a single woman, but God knows I want this period of singleness to end one day and begin the life of a happily married woman! *smile* And I know God will do it!

So my friends don’t ever let the enemy of your soul make you think that GOD does not care. Don’t ever let him deceive you with lies that the Father is not there. He is always there.

Don’t be discouraged, despondent, disappointed but rather be determined and delight yourself in the LORD and HE will give you the desires of your heart. He promised it in His Word!
