He Always Answers

 

Daniel was determined to pray regularly, and it got him thrown into the lions' den. But have you ever noticed how God answered his prayers?

At one point when Daniel was still praying, God not only sent an answer but He also sent His angel Gabriel to deliver it. Before Daniel had even finished his prayer, God heard it and immediately sent Gabriel with the answer.

On another occasion when Daniel prayed, the scripture tells us that the messenger God sent with the answer took three weeks to arrive.

We can learn important lessons from Daniel about how God answers our prayers today. Sometimes God sends the answer immediately. Sometimes the answer is delayed. Either way, He always answers.

There are three possible answers to prayer.

Yes, no, or wait.
