Does God Hear Your Prayers?Sample

You can have confidence that when you pray to God and ask anything according to His will, He hears you. That doesn't mean that you can ask God to make you rich, and you'll become prosperous. The keyword here is "His" will. God answers prayer according to His will,  His good purposes, and His divine plan. 

Does that mean that God is mean or punishing you if your prayers remain unanswered? The answer is "no." Sovereign God answers prayers that are in agreement with His will. His answers are not always a "yes," but are always in your best interest. Don't demand what you want when you communicate with God. Instead, discuss with him what HE wants from you. Prayer is a relational interaction, not merely a service transaction.

If "whatever you ask in prayer" has not happened yet, don't assume it can't or won't happen. Everything happens in God's timing. God wants you to depend on him. Don't give up! Continue to pray, and your relationship with and your dependence on God will deepen and grow.
