235. How does God answer prayer?
God our Father hears the prayers of His children and answers in His own way and in His own time.
Isaiah 65:24 Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.
2 Corinthians 12:8-9 Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
These passages encourage us to pray in faith and confidence: Matthew 8:5-13, where Jesus healed a centurion's servant; Matthew 9:1-8, where Jesus healed a paralytic; Exodus 3:7-10, about how the Lord planned to rescue Israel from Egypt; and Luke 18:1-8, where Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow.
