Silas
Beloved of All
Your prayer has been heard and I am joining my faith with yours before our Father in heaven.
Thank you for reaching out with such an honest and humble heart. The desire you have for God to hear you and to work miraculously in your situation is precious to Him. He invites us into close communion with Him, and prayer is how we remain in touch with Him. It is not meant to be only talking at God, but a real dialogue with Him. As we grow, we learn to spend more time listening as well as speaking, allowing His Spirit to minister assurance and comfort to our hearts while we pray.
You do not need to worry that God has not noticed your need. Jesus taught us that our Father knows what we need before we ask Him. Prayer is not informing Him of something He does not know, and it is not trying to wear Him down until He gives in. Prayer opens the door for God to do what He already desires to do, without violating the choice He has given us. That is why the wisest and most peaceful prayer we can pray is, Lord, work out Your perfect will in my life. Have Your way. The purpose of prayer is not to get our will done on earth, but to see His will done.
That does not mean we should pray small or timid prayers. Scripture says He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think. What seems difficult to us is not difficult to Him. He can provide in ways we cannot imagine, and He loves you deeply and wants you to know the height and depth and length of that love.
So continue in prayer and watch with thanksgiving. Keep bringing your need to Him with a sincere and fervent heart, because the fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much. The posture of your body matters far less than the posture of your heart as you bow before the Father through Jesus Christ. It is through Jesus alone that we have this relationship where we can call God Father and know our prayers are heard. If you have not yet come to Him that way, the first prayer He longs to hear is, God be merciful to me, a sinner, and He will receive you.
I am praying with you that God will fill you with all joy and peace as you trust Him, so that you may abound in hope. True hope is both desire and expectation. It is desiring His goodness and expecting Him to act according to His perfect wisdom and love. Even when all seems dark, that hope sustains us because our future is secure in Christ and His promises do not fail.
I agree with you now for your miracle, asking that God would be glorified in how He answers, and that His will would be accomplished in your life. May He give you patience and comfort from His Word as you wait, and may you hear His voice clearly as you seek Him.
