DOES GOD STILL ANSWER ?

My fellow brethren in christ, I know many times we've asked ourselves this same question does God still answer ? Now I stand to tell you this day He does answer.
There are many things that we can't even mention to our fellow human which has happened to us and still happening. we keep asking why me? Is it that you are not faithful enough for these things to happen to you?
Yes, Jesus said carry your cross and follow me; as Christians we were meant to face persecution as Jesus faced but we sometimes misunderstand this same very word.
It doesn't actually mean that when we are going through trials in life,we should just seat and watch; why not take that problem to Him in prayer? Course He knows what you're facing and ever ready to save and protect you, don't you know with prayer we can move mountains(defeat challenges of life) ,In His word(Bible) we are told to pray without ceasing( 1 Thessalonians 5:17)

but not just praying but without wrath and doubting(1 Timothy 2:8b). There is no need for putting up these attitudes course we are serving a living God.

Due to these attitudes many of us have already spoilt our prayers answer before taking it to God in prayer due to anger and lack of faith which isn't supposed to be so because we are the like of christ, we have to be brave and courageous course eyes are watching.
Him saying that we have to carry our cross and follow him don't mean he would put deaf ears to our cry.
He knows our thoughts, all He just needs us to do is just pore it out to him; He said ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find and knock it shall be open unto you ; this are His very words(Matthew 7:7).
For instance, looking at the way things are going now many people have lost their lives due to corona virus outbreak, it's not like we are better than them for us to still be alive but his grace is sufficient to us.
The Lord never let anything happen without the knowledge of his children, He makes us feel this strong connection with him. As a case study take a look at the relationship between Him and the Israelite when he instructed Moses to tell the Israelite what to do to hinder the plague of the death of the first born child, you can find this in Exodus chapter 13:1-15.
I don't want you to ever forget that the presence of the Lord is always with us no matter what we are going through as He went with the Israelite as a pillar of cloud in the day and night by the pillar of fire in Exodus chapter 13:21.
If par adventure you prayed and you seem not to feel any sign of your prayer being answered then start singing songs of praises to Him as David did in the days of whole.

The Bible let us know that by the time Paul and Silas were in the prison they prayed and sang ( until the Heaven could not take it anymore and the Holy ghost came down) and a great earthquake shooked the foundation of the prison and every gates paved open and their bonds were loosed(Acts 16:25 - 26).
Thanks for reading my post. I pray that God bless the reader, hearer and the doer of His word to the salvation of our soul in Jesus name Amen.
