How do we know God answers prayers?

Answered in 5 sources

God's faithfulness in answering prayers is affirmed in Scripture and through the testimony of believers (Romans 8:28).

God is described as a prayer-hearing and prayer-answering God throughout Scripture. In Romans 8:28, Paul reassures that 'all things work together for good to them that love God.' This not only includes the big events in life but also the everyday concerns and prayers of believers. Each instance where God answers prayer, as observed in both personal experiences and biblical accounts, serves as a testament to His sovereign care and attention to those who trust in Him. Not only does God hear our prayers, but He also acts in His own timing for the greater good of His children, reflecting His divine wisdom and purpose.
