He Hears Our Prayer, But Are We Listening For His Answer?

"The value of persistent prayer is not that He will hear us but that we will finally hear Him." Unknown,

 Maybe today, you are praying to God. Persistently asking Him for something, but, you are feeling like you are not getting any results. You are feeling like God is not hearing you call to Him. That He is not listening. Maybe, you think to yourself, if I keep praying and keep asking God, He will finally hear me. But, my friend, let me tell you something. God is hearing your prayer. He heard it the first time that you sent it up to Him, and He is, in fact, answering you. But where is that answer and where can we find you?
 Think of it this way, when we send a prayer up to God. He hears it. He hears everything that we tell Him, and He really takes your prayer and decides what is best for your situation. But when He does rule that out. Once He does have an answer for you, there is not going to be this great big booming voice coming from the sky answering your prayer. No. Your answer is going to be a soft voice. A voice that we really have to stop and listen to to hear.. That's it, we have to listen. We know that God isn't the one that is not listening to our prayer, but we are the one who is not listening to His answer. We need to stop and be still and listen to what He is telling us.
 So today, go out today and pray to God, ask Him for what you need, and not only know 100% that He is hearing you, but listen to what He is telling you.
