Your Prayers Are Being Answered: How to See God’s Signs

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. -Psalm 34:17

Brief Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to allow for reexamination of your prayers as you walk through daily life. My goal is to allow for you to understand the human trouble of divine understanding and allow for a realization that your prayers are being answered. I want you to walk away feeling relieved that God is working in your life, and to keep on the path of righteousness.

The breakdown will consist of knowing our own faults, not believing in prayers being answered, and to pray with confidence.

Divinely Blind

As humans, sometimes we cannot see nor understand what is right in front of us. The same way Tony Robbins says that if you look for red cars, you will see red cars, but if asked about the blue ones, you will not know.

The Pharisees, the powerful priests of Jesus’ time, were said to have known the stories of the old, inside and out. However, the messiah they were looking for was a prince of power, not a prince of peace. So, through human interpretation, they did not believe in Jesus and had him killed.

This is a good analogy of what us humans in 2026 do with our prayers.

We ask for a sign of what is in God’s will for us, so we look for a corporate email of a promotion or a work change but totally disregard the random-customer-conversation of motivation to chase your dreams. The sign was there, you just thought it would be something else. So, you humanly suspect that the Lord did not answer your prayer.

The prayer was answered; you just had your eyes attached to something else.

Belief in God

A quick story, imagine you have broken your leg and cannot afford the hospital bill. The doctor comes in to do regular check-ups, asks you the pain scale, and redoes your bandages. You lay back in bed wondering why this happened to you, you feel the cheap hospital sheets wrapped over you thinking,

How am I going to pay for this?

Suddenly, the doctor comes in for the daily checkup, but this time, he says that there is an anonymous man downstairs that wants to pay for your entire bill.

Slate clean and all.

You think to yourself about how this is not reasonable, and that no random person would do this. Your leg is broken, so it is not like you can go traverse the floors to see if the man is there or not. Through your human logic, you disregard the man and the doctor as a joke or infactual.

Think to yourself what this has to do with believing in prayer, I will come back to it.

Pray Confidently

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. – James 1:5

All throughout the Bible we see the importance of praying confidently to God, and to believe you have received and it will be yours. Yet, the human in us, does not fully believe in our prayers and that it will truly work.

I challenge you to pray that you will have a dream tonight, and throughout the day feel like it will come. I promise it will happen.

This is inductive because it is starting small, and through repetition, you will soon begin to pray in a much more universal aspect, and it will also come true.

Praying is training; you must master it.

If you do not fully believe that your prayer will come true, if there is any inch of doubt, then it will not come true. Referring back to the story of last heading, the man was there and ready to pay for you, but you did not believe in it, so it did not happen. Our natural human skepticism disallowed for our bill to be paid (our prayer to be answered and our sin to be forgiven.)

See what I did there.

As humans we ask questions and limit our belief in the worldly, which is good. I am also this way; I take everything with a grain of salt, and you should too. However, when it comes to the divine nature of our heavenly Father, we cannot be skeptical. We cannot think he does not answer prayer, because then you think he is not omnipotent. We cannot think that he is not truly there, because then you think he is not omnipresent.

The two things that you never want to do is limit God’s power and question God.

However, we indirectly do this all the time. We question God through our own decisions; we do not believe that God can do such because our human nature is to question.

But to live for God is to believe without question.

How to See God’s Signs

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Philippians 4:13

We must open our eyes to the divine nature of God and have the same confidence externally that we do internally with Him. The same way that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked in the fire knowing they would not get burned, or how Daniel knew God would protect him from the lions.

We must believe that our God can do all things; and they we can do all things through him. We should walk around with this confidence that we are God-fearing me and women, and that we have the power of the God who saves the weak. The all-mighty one who helps the ethical and righteous.

This sort of delusional optimism and positive thinking will transform our lives, and this all starts with prayer.

Through natural vulnerability and skepticism, we tend to shell up when uncomfortableness comes, or the unnatural is thrown our way. But, through sound belief in the God that we live for, we can chase our dreams, we can thrive in situations we know we are not capable of, we can inspire others,

we can change the world.

The world will try to bring you down, the world will hate you, mock you, chew you up and spit you out. But our God, the one who created all, is good. Light overpowers the dark, the supernatural outweighs the natural, the spirit in us beats up our flesh.

Do not limit this heavenly Father of ours, power; believe that he can make you righteous and he will.
