God answers your prayer?

By Serafin Alarcon

"I will act according to thy words: I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has been none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. ?

1 Kings 3.12

When we pray and meditate deeply reflect on what is and should be a priority in our lives. Be patient, knowing that Christ is not subject to any whim of the ego. Yes, ask first recognizing that for God nothing is impossible. Pray as if we were talking with someone who actually listens to us. Bare our soul and long for higher things, not temporary ...
