Daily Prayer
HOW LONG UNTIL YOUR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED?
Prayer is the way to directly communicate with God. As you lift up each prayer to your Father in the name of Jesus, He bends down to listen to you right then. He hears you praying and knows your heart. When you pray from your heart and ask your Father, you open the door to a deeper relationship with Him. The Lord loves to hear you pray. He longs to give you what you need, but have you asked Him? If the answer is no, there is a better plan that only the Lord knows. If the answer is not now, the Lord wants you to keep praying to grow your faith while you wait. And if the answer is yes, He wants you to be thankful and give glory to your Father in Heaven so that others may believe. Maybe He is waiting for you to keep faithfully and fervently praying instead of asking how long until you receive your answer. Keep praying as all of your prayers are beautiful to Him!
Dear Heavenly Father,
I know that when I pray, you definitely hear me. In fact, you bend down and listen to each word. My relationship with You has grown deeper through my prayers. I never realized how Your presence and power could be real in my life until I started praying more and more. You give me the words to pray when I do not know what to pray. You know that there are times when I do not have the words to pray. Thank you for interceding for me when I humble myself before You.
PSALM 13:1 begins with the words,
“HOW LONG, O LORD?”
I have the same question as well. I am wondering how long I must wait for Your answers to my prayers. But I will wait upon You, my Lord. My heart is full of promise and hope because I know that whatever the answers might be, You are here right beside me, loving me steadfastly. My answers will come in Your perfect timing when I focus on You first, and believe with all of my heart that You will answer as I keep praying!
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
