Perhaps you have prayed to the heavenly Father for something with all the fervour of your heart, and yet He has not answered your prayer. Could there be a hindrance on your part? It cannot be the Father’s fault. He enjoys giving His children gifts. But there is a condition to having our prayers answered. We need to have a father-child relationship with God. We need to walk in the way of His commandments and do what is pleasing to Him. If we are obedient, trusting children, God will prove Himself our Father in all things.
