As a Christian, you are not alone. You are not abandoned. You aren’t left to fend for yourself like some feral cat. How marvelous it is to think that the God who created the universe is willing to help you, if you just pray according to His will and believe you have what you ask. Believing that you have what you ask may be a tall order when you haven’t physically received the answer yet. In fact, circumstances may look like they are only getting worse when you pray. This is a test of faith.
Many say when they are going through trouble, “Where is God? Doesn’t He hear me?” His love and faithfulness have already been proved in Jesus. You can be confident in Him. But can He be confident in you? Can you pray according to His will? Have you discovered what His will is by reading His Word? Do you pray believing? If you truly believe, you won’t be wondering if God has left you or abandoned you. You will confidently wait.
Sometimes you must prepare for His answers. For instance, when Jesus fed the five thousand, He had the disciples organize the people into groups of fifty before the bread and fish showed up (Luke 9:14).
God is not a mere religious belief. He is a powerful being fully equipped to answer your prayers.
