7 Ways to Get an Answer to Your Prayers

Seeking answers to your prayers?

The bible is teaching us to be persistent in prayer as God promised to answer all genuine prayers.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Luke 11:9 KJV

Everything we need spiritually has been promised that it will be given and God leaves us no excuse for failure. People often give up after a few halfhearted efforts to pray and then conclude that God doesn’t listen. But communicating with God in prayer takes faith, focus, and diligence, and Jesus has assured us that we will be rewarded as we develop a deep relationship with him.

Continue to seek God and continue to ask him for more knowledge, patience, wisdom, love, and understanding, He will surely give these things to you. The more you talk and fellowship with Him, the more you will be able to recognize His voice when He speaks to you.
