When our priority is for God, He will add everything we need in life. God answers all our prayers. Most importantly, God never says no to a prayer that seeks His heart. God wants us to pray without ceasing. By continually praying, our relationship with Him becomes stronger.
God answers prayers in one of three ways. God says yes and you receive what you ask for. God says No and you have to accept it and move on. Or God says not yet and you learn to be patient and wait. The Lord wants us to carefully understand His will so that we will better appreciate the answer.
Let us have a look at the following scriptures that will assure us that God answers our prayers.
