Sometimes, things seem impossible to overcome, and it feels like prayer can't make a difference. But that can't be farther from the truth. The Bible says, "You don't have because you don't ask." (James 4:2).
The truth is that prayer is a profound and essential means of communicating with God. We should "pray without ceasing." (1 Thessalonians 5:17). We should approach God in hardship and peace on good days and bad. Prayer is a way of supporting a relationship between ourselves and God. Communication seeks to bring His divine wisdom, mercy, and help into our lives.
If we pray according to God's will for our lives, He will listen to us. (1 John 5: 14). Therefore, knowing His plans for our lives is essential. He wants to prosper us and not harm us. He wants to give us hope and a future. (Jer. 29:11). It is also His will that not one of us perish. (Matthew 18:14).
Timing is up to God. "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3: 1). We must be patient and have faith. We must persevere despite what we are dealing with while hoping for a better day and His help.
God sees all. "His eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good." (Prov. 15: 3). So never be afraid because He knows what you are going through. He will work "all things together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28).
You've always got someone on your side who hears your every prayer and knows your every thought! Keep praying, believing, and holding on because you are never alone! He will never leave you or forsake you! (Deut. 31: 8).
