I read something from someone on the internet today that said they have "stopped praying".
I thought to myself how in the world could someone stop praying for others, or themselves?
We may not get the answers from God that "we" want, but the answers we get are exactly what we need.
Check out many verses in the Bible that I found just from thumbing through His Word and from verses I already knew that helps us to know for sure we can count on Him. People, these are not all the promises from His Word, but enough for you to know that "GOD HEARS AND ANSWERS PRAYERS"
1. I call on the Lord in my distress, and He answers me. Psalms 120:1
2. To the Lord I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy hill. Psalms 3:4
3. I prayed to the Lord and He answered me, freeing me from all my fears. Psalms 34:4

14. He grants the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cries for help and rescues them. Psalms 145:19
OK so I could keep going with so many more, but I think I will just let you research in God's Word for yourself to "His answers" to "your prayers"
