God answers prayer indeed
The Italian evangelist, Erino Dapozzo, one day met a girl who told him in despair, "I have lost my purse, and we are very poor. My father has already beaten me; so I have come back to look for it once again"

"Have you asked God for help?" asked Dapozzo. "Oh yes, but nothing has changed," she said as she feverishly searched all over the ground.

A lively discussion followed. Jeanette insisted that her prayer had proved useless. Dapozzo maintained the opposite point of view.

"You can see that I cannot find my money," the girl explained. Thereupon Dapozzo took a

bank note out of his pocket and handed it to her. "You think that God hasn't answered,

because you still haven't found your purse. But He is answering in a way that is different

from what you hoped. He has sent me to you."

We often have our own conception as to how God should answer us. And if it turns out otherwise, we easily conclude that God hasn't answered us. In fact, God's answer often goes much further. That girl, for example, met someone who knew the God of love.

Experiences from our daily life, like a telephone call or an encounter may be God's answer to our prayer. So let us open our eyes and our hearts to recognize and accept God's answer!
