How do you know if God hears you?
Some think that God hears only when His answer is "yes" to the things we ask. Others think he always hears us.
I was reading in Hebrews 5 this morning and was particularly struck by verse 7:
"During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission."
This tells me:
1. God hears us when we live out reverent submission to Him.
2. When God hears us, His answer will not necessarily be "yes."
3. When God's answer is not "yes," we must trust that He has a greater purpose, a greater glory in the "no" or the "wait."
