We pray, and pray, and continue to pray, until God answers. Certainly, He does answer prayer. Question: Did God really answer your prayer? The question is not whether God answers your prayer, but whether God answers your prayer. The emphasis is not on the capacity of God to answer our prayer, but on our capacity to pray for God to answer it. What is our participation in the act of asking a petition? Do we really have to sound convincing?
Let us validate whether the supposed answer was really our prayer. What if it’s the result of someone else’s prayer for us? Or what if God just want to give it to you and me? Can we really say that God heard it that way? While prayer can be a form of conversation, it also teaches us to be in the right position (attitude) before God. In the event that we get a positive response, it should remind us of the goodness of our Lord, not our greatness in prayer. In the final analysis, our character can testify to our prayer life.
