How do we know God's promise to answer our prayers is true?
Answered in 1 source
God's promise to answer prayers is affirmed through His word, as seen in Matthew 7:7, where He encourages us to ask, seek, and knock.
The assurance that God hears and answers our prayers is woven throughout Scripture. In Matthew 7:7, Jesus invites us to ask, seek, and knock, promising that we will receive, find, and have doors opened to us. This act of seeking is rooted in the faith that God not only desires to connect with us but also actively responds to our needs. Additionally, in Isaiah 55:11, the Lord declares that His word will not return void but will accomplish His purposes, reinforcing that when we align our requests with His will, we can expect a positive response. Trusting in His ways and timing is paramount to a prayerful relationship with Him.
