ornelius, a centurion of a regiment and his household feared God. Apart from being a devout man and giving alms generously to the people, he always prayed to God. Once an angel went to him and said, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God” (Acts 10:1-4). The answer for Cornelius’ prayer was given since it was heard in the presence of God. The Lord is the One, who hears prayers (Psalm 65:2). So the Bible clearly teaches us not to become weary but to pray unceasingly (Luke 18:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:17). Perhaps you may wonder, “Will the Lord hear my prayers?” Surely He will answer your prayers (Psalm 66:20). David, the psalmist firmly says, “The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer” (Psalm 6: 9). The Lord Jesus has said that we can receive everything by praying with faith (Matthew 21:22). When you call upon the Lord in your distress, your voice and cries will reach His ears (Psalm 18:6). So, tell your needs to the Lord, boldly (Hebrews 4:16). Let us meditate on how to pray to make the Lord hear our supplications?
