We are encouraged in Scripture to pray to God for our needs and to
intercede on behalf of others. We are assured that He hears our prayers.
What we cannot be assured of is that what we ask for will be granted
always. He always answers prayer but the answer is up to Him, not us. It
may be 'Yes', 'No', or 'Not now'. We must rest in the assurance that He
loves us and whatever answer He gives is the answer which glorifies His
name and is best for us. It isn't always easy.
