b'I have recently experienced the joy of having prayer after prayer answered with a \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153yes.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d It feels wonderful to know God is listening as I cry out to Him and to know He cares enough to give me things I ask for. But what about those times when we pray and pray and never get the response we want? Is God still with us? Does He still care?\\nWhen I pray and things don\\u2019t work out the way I want them to, it\\u2019s easy for me to feel alone. Sometimes I feel like I have to figure things out by myself, like no one is going to help me. It can be hard to remember God is with me always\\u2014in the good times and the not-so-good times.\\nSo, I turn to God\\u2019s Word. The Bible tells us over and over again that God is with us always and He will not let us be lost. I lean on those promises, knowing that just because I don\\u2019t get what I want doesn\\u2019t mean God is ignoring me or doesn\\u2019t care. God never changes, and He never breaks His promises. He is at work even when I don\\u2019t see it.\\nIt can be hard to pray and then have things work out differently than we wanted them to, but God is still with us and He is still in control. When we get discouraged, we can look back at all the times we have seen His faithfulness before, and we can rest in the knowledge that Heloves us always. \\u2022 Emily Acker\\n\\u2022 When have you seen God answer your prayer with a \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153yes\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d? How canthose times encourage you when you feel like God isn\\u2019t listening? \\n\\u2022 Sometimes, God\\u2019s answer to our prayer is \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153no,\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d and we may never know why. But we do know He loves us and has a plan. What other truths about God can you cling to when you feel lost?\\nNeither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
