Does God Answer Prayer?
Philippians 4:6-7

What a strange question to ask. The obvious answer, Yes God answers prayer.
Jeremiah 33:3 Hebrews 4:16

The next statement you may debate, but I firmly believe The Father has answered every prayer that has ever been prayed. Could it be a misunderstanding of what answered prayer is that has caused the confusion and disagreement.
An answered prayer doesn’t mean God give us what we demand.
Get Over It! The Lord isn’t a divine bellhop.
Friend, What do we learn from scripture about prayer?

  1. “Yes,” is often God’s answer to our prayer.
    Psalm 37:4-5 Matthew 6:33 John 14:13-14 Romans 8:31-32
    Praise The Lord, “Yes” is answered prayer.
  2. Many times “wait” is answered prayer.
    Proverbs 3:5-6 Isaiah 40:31 Psalm 37:23
    Our Lord is never in a hurry. Christ is never late.
    The Father is always on time. John 11:1-46
    We do not like to wait. Tell me about it.
    “Wait” is answered prayer. We all experience it.
  3. Many times the answered prayer is “No!”
    Matthew 7:21-23 Luke 16:19-31 John 9:31 Hebrews 12:16-17 II Corinthians 12:7-8
    “No” is answered prayer.
  4. Then God’s answered prayer is often “Something better.”
    II Corinthians 12:7-10 God said NO 3 times.
    Friend, “Something better,” is answered prayer.

God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness, the power of Christ may rest upon us.

Keep Praying,
Pastor David Hart
