When you pray to God do you believe he really hears you or do you fill like your prayers are just hitting the ceiling?
Do you realize that when you pray you have to believe God will hear you and answer your prayer? God answers every prayer according to His perfect will. Did you catch that....according to His perfect will. When we are walking with God and we pray to him he answers every prayer. We have to remember that our ways are not his ways. Even Christ prayed "Father, if you are willing, take this up from me; yet not my will but yours be done" (Luke 22:42) Christ also taught us to pray "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"(Matt 6:10).
As Christians we need to align our will with that of our Father in Heaven. So many times we think of God as a Genie in a bottle just sitting around waiting for us to call on him and ask for stuff. That's not what God wants from us, he wants us to know him intimately, so that when we do pray we know that he will hear us and answer us according to his perfect and good will. We have to remember that key thought....according to His perfect will. We may not get the answer we are looking for, but, he does answer.
So, with that in mind.....Do you believe God hears your prayers?
