Prayer is one of the main bases of Christian living, and in our churches, we speak of the importance of persevering in prayer. Yet sometimes God himself wants us to put an end to some of our prayers.

When we pray, God listens to us: the Bible confirms it in 1 John 5:14. But did you realize that God listens to much more than just our prayers?

The Word of God is filled with examples of divine intervention. All this shows us that God listens to His children, and He answers. His love for us has not changed. We can trust Him and follow Him in all things.

When we ask God for something, we often have a firm image of how He should answer us. The danger with this image is that it can prevent us from seeing that God has answered us, but in another way.

It is in daily contact with our Creator that we find the strength and patience we need to be parents. But how can we hear God when our toddlers also demand our attention?
