Aqualyn Toi Jones speaks about the : “School of Hard Knocks.” I have a list of pet peeves that seems to grow as I grow older. Number seven on that list is speaking to a customer service rep who cannot answer my question. It’s kind of like an oxymoron.  The whole point of asking a question is to receive a response. It’s impolite to not answer and when a request seems unheard, it’s easy to feel ignored or insignificant, when we go to God in prayer, we go expecting an answer. We desperately want to know that He hears us and that He cares, when we inquire about the deepest issues of our hearts, we need to know that there is an answer and that we will receive it.  Jesus promises that if you ask, you will receive. If you seek, you will find, and if you knock, the door will be open for you. (Matthew 7:7). We have a promise that our prayers will be heard “AND” answered. Read your Bible prayerfully and think.
