Very few things warm the heart of a Christian as does answered prayer. When God answers our prayers, it shows that He is intimately involved in our lives, that He hears us, and that He cares. The Bible certainly teaches that He has the power to answer our prayers. Jesus said, “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it!”
I am inspired over and over again in prayer when I read missionary stories. Lately I have been reading about J. Hudson Taylor, the pioneer missionary into China, and about Lee King, one of the first missionaries on the Carribbean island of Cayman Brac. What answers to pray these men saw!
There is no reason we cannot see similar answers to prayer. My heart was thrilled last week when our church staff saw a definite answer to prayer one day after we discussed a need. Similarly, my wife and I saw a definite answer to prayer this week.
We serve a great God. The Bible says, “You have not, because you ask not.” As the old song says, we need to take everything to God in prayer!
