Matthew 15:22-23-King James Version (KJV)
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

QUOTES ON GOD ANSWERS PRAYER:

1. God answers all prayers in three ways: Yes-because you deserve it. No-because you deserve better, And Not yet-because the best is yet to come.

2. If God answers your prayer, He is increasing your faith. If he delays, He is increasing your patience, if He doesn’t answer, He has something better for you.

3. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24.

4. Sometimes, God answers your prayers when we least expect it. Sometimes, God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers, and thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face. Sometimes, God’s answers to our prayers may exceed our expectations.

5. What is God answers our prayers with the same POWER we pray for them?

6. God always respects our free will until he answers our prayers.

7. Be happy when God answers your prayer, But be more thankful when God makes you the answer to someone else’s prayer.

8. When we pray, God hears more than we say, answers more than we ask, gives more than we imagine….in his own time and in his own way.

9. I know the plans I have for you says the Lord; Plans for good/prosper and not disaster, to give you a future and hope. Jeremiah 29:11

10. I lift up my eyes to the mountains-where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heave and earth. Psalm

    We all have had moments of tragedy and despair. It is in our darkest hour that many of us pray to God for comfort, I believe he answers our prayers when we are ready. We need to understand that asking God for material things will probably be ignored, that the greatest gifts we receive from God come from what we live and learn. For instance, my life was very difficult in many ways. I came from a home plagued by mental disease and addiction, it was a very lonely existence and I had often prayed for peace and to be loved unconditionally by another person. It did not seem like too much to want from life, however inside me grew resentment and anger. I was not ready to be loved or for a peaceful existence because I had not even loved myself. Over twenty years I lived my life angry at God for not giving me what seemed basic for most people and it consumed me to the point of near death. I saw what I had become, but now I had a child and I did not want her to feel the pain that I felt. If I did not change, it would just be repeating the vicious cycle. A very life altering decision was made and I began to heal from my past, but I still had a long journey ahead. I still felt lost and needed someone to understand. Finally I begged God to show me…

    Waiting is not easy: waiting is a difficult and time consuming process. It can even be irritating and aggravating. Impatience in many cases can cause doubt. It is particularly difficult to wait on God to answer your prayers. You know that you are a saint, a child of God and storms are brewing in your life and in the midst of your situation you call on God but He has not answered you yet. The storm is still ragging, you don’t know how much you can take and it appears that the worst is about to happen; you may wonder “where is God”.…

    January 24, 1936 Phyllis Wright, a sixth grade student, asked the question to Albert Einstein “whether scientists pray, and if so, what they pray for.” Einstein’s response to the students question was rhetorically effective. He managed to answer he question without giving her a direct answer. He went in-depth to explained the scientific response to pray. He started off by making it sound like he did not pray but by the second paragraph he stated reasons that would make readers assume he does pray and that there is a God; however, by the third paragraph readers could make an easier assumption if he prayed or not.…
