Last week, I was taking my Chemistry final and before I did that, I lifted up a prayer for the students of Augusta University that no matter what their troubles were, no matter what final they were taking, I prayed that everyone would do well. I also prayed that I would do well on my own Chemistry final, as well as all of my finals that I had to take. Later that day as my family and I arrived back home, a pair of cardinals appeared in my front lawn. I was told that the cardinal was believed to be a messenger from Heaven.

While this above may only be a superstition, this does pose a question I wanted to ask the readers today: if you've prayed to God for or about something, what ways does He show you that the prayers were answered? Try and find an opportunity to look for them, if you haven't found them already. This won't be an easy task, since He uses unusual methods to demonstrate this. But this is the challenge for you guys as well: don't look for the most obvious answer. Look out for something that does seem completely unusual.

And maybe you feel like He hasn't been answering your prayers. If you feel that way, don't give up! God will answer your prayers. Maybe it won't be exactly what you asked for, but that only means that there's something better in mind that maybe you can't see.

Whatever your attitude towards prayer is, change it. Pester God about it, He won't get annoyed. In fact, that's exactly what He wants from you. The more you pray to Him, the more He knows how much you need Him.
