God already answered.

“We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality… ”
Hebrews 4:15(MSG)

Our opening scripture is letting us know that Jesus can be touched by our weaknesses and He understands what we may be going through. Sometimes some people pray and say, “O God, if only you know what I am going through, you would have done something.” They blame God for their problems as though it is God's fault.

I would like to share this analogy with you: For instance, let’s say you called me and told me you needed a hundred thousand naira and I paid it into your account. When I called to let you know that the money has already been paid into your account you didn't pick up your phone. As a result, you called me back later weeping and crying to tell me how you really needed the money, and to say that if I had really loved you I would have done something about it. But then I replied and told you that I had already paid the money you needed into your account. At the moment you hear that I have already paid the money into your account, you will immediately stop crying and go and withdraw the money. But if when you called me I was not reachable, you would start saying that I am wicked because you did not know that when you asked I responded immediately and paid the money into your account. You will go and continue to complain even to others that you told me about your problem but I did not do anything about it. But the truth is that I had already done something about it but you did not know and you could not go and withdraw it because you have not been able to get through to me.

That is the same way the prayer lives of many are. They have not been able to get through to God; therefore they are yet to receive what they have asked for in prayer because they lack knowledge. You get through to God through His Word which will give you faith which is your assurance and the title deed for all that you have desired of the Lord.

Prayer.
 Dear Father, I thank you for your Word to me today that has enlightened me to know that you have already answered all my previous prayers. Right now I release my faith to lay hold on all the answers to my prayers. Thank you Father for all the benefits you have for me are all coming to me by free course today, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
 Hosea 4:6, John 11:41-42, Philippians 4:6-7.

Doing the Word.
Take time out through the day to thank the Father for His answers instead of complaining.
Also, as part of your prayer for the fast read and pray with 2 Thessalonians 3:1, Acts 19:20, Colossians 4:2-4, Mark 16:20 for the spread of the gospel.
