John 11:41 ” Then Jesus said, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.’ “

Do you ever feel like your prayers hit the ceiling & fall back to the ground, or that the prayers you’ve been praying for years & years still go unanswered…to the point you’ve become discouraged & defeated? It happens to all of us! But let’s look at this Scripture for a minute to gain context. Two things we see right away about this prayer is that Jesus starts out grateful for the opportunity to pray to His Father, but He also is boldly confident & rock solidly reassured that His Father not only hears, but accepts, and will answer His prayer. So, when Jesus prays – God always hears His prayers…so if the Son of God has been formed in me – the very image of Christ impressed on my heart, (Galatians 4:19) it goes to reason that my Heavenly Father will always hear, accept, and answer my prayers. But I must see to it that He is exhibited in my human flesh in a correct & righteous way, since my body is the “Temple of the Holy Spirit. (I Corinthians 6:19)
