We know God answers our prayers because He is ever-alert and eager to respond to the faithful cries of His people.
God's responsiveness to prayer stems from His nature as the 'everlasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the earth.' He neither faints nor tires, maintaining constant vigilance to hear our supplications. Isaiah 40 reassures us that even when it seems as though our ways are hidden from God, He is fully aware and actively involved in our lives. Our doubt often arises from a lack of faith or understanding of His timing and purposes.
Furthermore, the comfort of knowing that God gives power to the faint and strengthens the weary encourages us in our prayer life. The Apostle Paul exemplifies this when he claims, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' This assurance imbues believers with confidence that God not only listens but acts in accordance with His perfect will, ensuring our perseverance through trials and tribulations.
