God may not answer our prayers in the manner and timing we wish, but we can take comfort in knowing that He hears and acts as He knows best.

Prayer should not be an afterthought or considered as the least we can do. It is an essential and powerful privilege commanded by Scripture.

God's possible answers to our prayers include "Yes," "No," and "Wait." Each can help us trust Him more and bring Him the glory He deserves.

Before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed, "Your will be done." We can also pray that prayer in faith and surrender to our heavenly Father.

We are blessed if we have a close confidant. We are even more blessed to have a friend in Christ on whom we can cast all our cares.

Focusing on political differences breeds hate, whereas it is impossible to hate those for whom we pray regularly.

There are so many good reasons to start each day with God in prayer and in His Word. And there is so much that can go wrong when we don't.

When and how do we listen to God speak? Sometimes we should speak and act. Other times it’s best to listen.
