Does God hear and answer my prayers? Learning to wait upon God is a lifetime learning experience for me. The prophet Jeremiah gives us a wonderful promise in chapter 29:v13 - "And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." I've come to realize the truth that God is near when I am still and seek Him in prayer. God is like a loving parent who answers your prayer requests in three ways:
YES, because your prayer request aligns with His perfect will for your life and brings glory to Jesus;
NO, because your prayer request is not what the Father has planned for your life. For example, the apostle Paul prayed three times that God would heal him from a physical infirmity and God answered his prayer request by telling him; "My grace is sufficient for you."
-
WAIT-because He wants me to grow in faith and learn to trust Him in times of need. The biggest mistakes I've made in my life have been because I was impatient and and did not wait upon God. Don't make the same mistake by being self-reliant and restless. Wait upon the LORD today and rest in His faithfulness for He hears your prayer and knows what's best for you!
