Does God answer prayers?
Does God answer prayers?

Yes, God does answer our sincere prayers. Sometimes answers come through:
  • His Spirit, which gives us feelings or thoughts and ideas.
  • Other people.
  • The scriptures.

Occasionally, the answer may not come immediately or may not be the answer we hoped for. Our vision is limited. God’s is not. As a loving Father, He will answer our prayers at a time and in a way that He knows will help us the most.
