Few attitudes are more disheartening and destructive to faith than the notion that God doesn't hear our prayers, doesn't answer or doesn't care. It is easy to come to such conclusions when God doesn't respond when or how we want.
God is aware of everything we say and do. Not even a sparrow can fall to the ground without His knowing it (Matthew 10:29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. See All...). Therefore when anyone prays to God He is well aware of the words that are spoken. But does He really consider all the requests that are directed to Him?
On a summer afternoon, I stood awestruck by the mighty hand of God. In the path of a raging firestorm, I witnessed a glimpse of His mercy, goodness and deliverance.
