Answered Prayers : How Can We Tell...

Topics: prayer church faith christian answered prayer

The most meaningful prayer comes from a heart that places its trust in the God who has acted and spoken in the Jesus of history and the teachings of the Bible. God speaks to us through the Bible, and we in turn speak to Him in trustful, believing prayer. Assured by Scripture that God is personal, living, active, all-knowing, all-wise, and all-powerful, we know that God can hear and help us. A confident prayer life is built on the cornerstone of Christ’s work and words as shown by the prophets and apostles in the Bible.
Sometimes one does not even consider God unless they are in danger of Circumstances and find our-selfs crying in-side. We ask God to help, and make deals. God hears, He knows. How can we tell? God has three ways to answer; Yes, No, and Wait. the best way to understand how and when our Prayers are answered, is to keep a journal.
Keep an open heart, and mind... Believe... Have Faith... Keep Loving...
(1 Thess 5:16-18)
16 Always be joyful. 17 Pray continually, 18 and give thanks whatever happens. That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus.

Happy New Year CallaChristian,

I can attest to your advice of keeping a journal. When I was a brand new believer (7 years ago), I kept a prayer journal. I recently came across it and was amazed to find that every single thing I prayed for came true (including that my wife would also come to know Jesus). I know this isn't always going to be the case that every prayer is answered, but it sure was a nice validation for me. Keep up the good work!
Fat Tom.

  I have reconsidered. I'm removing my post. In time religious folks will discover that the placebo effect renders prayer as being equivalent to downing sugar pills.

I am not a religious person but I recognize for some people it is their path and if prayer gives you hope and carries you through tough times then more power to you

I do agree that God answers pray in three ways.

1. God give you what you pray for
2. God exchange what you pray for with something more suit to you
3. God will delay to answer your prayer until you deserve it

And I do agree that God will always answer your pray

Holy Qur'an Chapter 2, Verse 186:
'And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way.'
