Answered Prayers

Did you know that God wants to answer your prayers? When Jesus died on the cross, God tore the veil from top to bottom. This opened the way so that through a relationship with Jesus, we can approach the throne of grace and bring our needs and our requests before the Lord.

God wants to answer your prayers. Jesus instructed His disciples repeatedly: ask and keep asking, seek and keep seeking, knock and keep knocking and the door will be opened to you. God will meet your needs.

Scripture also communicates what happens when our prayers are answered. In the book of John, we see Jesus saying (to paraphrase), “Our joy is made full and the Father is glorified in the Son every time a prayer is answered” (John 14:13, 16:24).

Think about that. Because of our relationship with Jesus, because of what He did for us on the cross, we can approach our Heavenly Father through Him. When we pray through Christ, and God answers our prayers, the Father is glorified through the Son.

God shows up through answered prayer, showing that He is Provider, He is Protector, He is Healer, He is our Wonderful Counselor. There is not an issue we are facing in our culture right now that prayer cannot address.

Also, prayer fills us up with joy when God answers those prayers. Every church ought to have people walking in the door every Sunday sharing freshly answered prayers of what God has done in their lives. If that happened, then our faith wouldn’t just be in the wisdom of men. Instead, as the Apostle Paul says, it will be in the power of God.

God wants to answer your prayers … so keep praying.
