There is a big difference between prayer and answered prayer.
Folks...every prayer is answered. If you offer up a sincere prayer, you will get a real result, every single time. No exceptions. HOWEVER...God takes your request, analyzes it, and then delivers the result that is PERFECT...which may be different than what you asked for.
Today my wife and I were at Target. While I used the restroom she was panhandled. She gave the guy a dollar because he said he needed soap. As we drove away from the store, we saw that he was not carrying a bag. HOWEVER...the proper motion had been made. A needy human reached out to my wife, and she compassionately responded. The result of "honesty" on the side of the panhandler was not even necessary. God had asked my wife to be generous, and she responded properly. So, the "result" was much different than expected, but success was still achieved.
I was asked today by a good friend to help her family deal with a depressed young man. I told her she had complete access to me. I would go where needed, I would share as much as I could, and I would provide anything required. Does the young man know what is coming? Probably not, but I'll tell you one thing...in his despair he probably asked God for some help...and here it comes, in an unlikely form.
You know folks, I have been in the miracle business for a very long time. I have been actively helping people all over the planet, and beyond, for my whole life really. And what I've noticed is that the farther people are from God, the faster He will pull them close when asked. Have you ever seen a miracle make someone's head spin? I never get tired of witnessing that.
