How does God respond to prayers?

The sermon asserts that God hears prayers aligned with His will. Unlike common assumptions that God is obligated to respond favorably to requests, the truth remains that His answers reflect His divine purpose and wisdom. The preacher highlights that many people naively presume God will meet their demands. In contrast, true believers understand that they must approach God from a position of humility, recognizing His sovereignty and grace. This is illustrated through the faith of Job, who resolved to trust God regardless of his circumstances.
