“Trying times are not the times to stop trying.”  (Ray Owen)  Do you ever get the feeling that God isn’t hearing your prayers?  When the disciples were having a lack of faith Jesus told them a parable about the persistent widow (Luke who didn’t take “No” for an answer; eventually the “No” turned into a “Yes.”  Most of us have learned, If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again>  Remember that when it comes to your prayers.  God’s calendar might not be the same as yours.   ;-)  Jack
Luke 18:1-8 NIV - The Parable of the Persistent Widow - Bible ...

FROM BB IN CHGO:  Thoughtful; I do feel I am always being “heard”.  The older I get, the more I realize how woeful some of those earnest prayers were back in the day!===JACK:  Don't denigrate the past.  It was the best that you knew how at the time.  The key is to remember that our spiritual life is a growing experience.

FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY:  His time is not our time.  He does hear every prayer and I truly believe!  He loves us so much and waits for them!!!      It was nice to have the Bible story attached!!  Loved it.      We were driving to our sons house with his kids in the car and drove past a cemetery.  It got the kids talking about death and what they would wear and what their bodies would look like in Heaven.  Melanie (9) said they would be naked.  Andy asked them what she would say that and she said a Jesus was.  He said no, Jesus was wrapped in a white robe.  Mel said no, when he came out of the tomb he was wrapped in cloth and he left it on the stone.  So he must have been nude.        Don’t you love kids?===JACK:  I think God loves us as His kids.  I could picture Him saying to one of the angels, "Don't you just love kids?
