Prayer Answered by God
(Luke 18:1)

God knows about pain that we are going through and knows answers to our problems. 1 Corinthians 2:9~10 state, “However, as it is written: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.’” God is a good God who prepares amazing things for us. We must clearly believe in this fact and pray by going before God.

1. Prayer with dream
1)God loves us and gladly answers our prayers. (Matt. 7:9~11)
2) We must pray by dreaming God’s answer. Abraham prayed for a son for ten years, but did not receive his answer. However, when he prayed with a dream by looking to the stars in the sky, God made his dream to come to pass. (Gen. 15:4~5)

2. Patience and answer
1) Through a parable of a widow and an unjust judge, Jesus taught us to “always pray and not give up.” (Lk. 18:1)
2) There was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. A widow came and asked to grant her justice. The judge ignored the widow’s request. However, the judge decided to grant the widow’s request in the end because she kept coming to him. (Lk. 18:2~4)

3. Your prayer and God who answers
1)Jesus said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says,” and taught us what kind of attitude we should have when we pray. (Lk. 18:6)
2) The unjust judge granted the request of the widow who had nothing to do with him. So God who is the most just judge in the world will answer His children who He extremely loves when they pray. (Lk. 18:7~8)

Conclusion
In we look in Daniel chapter 10, we know that Daniel received his answer to his prayer on the first day. But, it took 21 days for his answer to come because of hindering power. Therefore, a prayer is spiritual warfare. Just as we should not step back when waging a war, if we pray for something that is God’s will, we should not be discouraged and ask with faith until the end.
