Heaven’s Answer Is Waiting

To get the answers and solutions, you need to ask the right questions. Everything starts with prayer.

April’s Awakening, Day 1

The greatest thing anyone can do for God and for man is to pray. You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.

 —S. D. Gordon 

Heaven is full of answers to prayers for which no one ever bothered to ask.

 —Billy Graham 

Of all the duties enjoyed by Christianity, none is more essential and yet more neglected, than prayer.

 —François Fénelon 

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24 NIV 

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. John 14:13–14 NIV   

            Why bother to pray, when God already knows what you need? Why ask, when God already knows the outcome and how it will all turn out? We pray and we ask because it turns our hearts and minds to Him. We shift our focus and let our heart be expressed and thoughts be spoken. The act of praying strengthens us and our relationship with Him. The sweet incense of our prayers allows the floodgates of heaven to be opened and God’s blessings and favor to be released. Sometimes He answers with a yes, sometimes no, and sometimes wait—he’s got something better in store. Regardless, prayer is powerful and effective and when spoken according to His will, the perfect answers and solutions will come. Heaven’s answers are waiting—we just need to pray and ask the questions.
