More on Prayer

Sometimes it seems like God is ignoring your prayers.

You pray and you pray, but nothing happens.

Take courage! God knows what we need before we ask, and is faithful to provide! (Mt. 6:8) 

 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Luke 11:11-13

God does, however, delight when we ask Him because it shows our reliance upon Him, and our trust in Him. Don't give up. God answers prayers in unexpected ways and in His own time, which is always perfect.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6-7

Seek the Father always. He will provide for you in ways impossible for us to foresee. 

Read Mt. 6:25-34. 

God will provide when the time is right, even if it doesn't seem like it to us.
