Lord, help me not to say the wrong thing. I don't want to mislead anyone. I may be laughing as I shake hands with you, but I am praying that God will bring something out of this contact that will edify you and me. Yes, God answers every prayer, every prayer of an obedient, abiding Christian. God answers prayer.
Some prayer is answered immediately.
Some prayers are answered by God saying no. But when God says no, that is an answer. I've got to keep an engagement in a certain town tonight, and if I don't make this plane I won't keep the engagement. The Lord said no, and T. W. stood at the airport and watched the plane take off. He felt that the Lord had let him down.
