Sir.
Answering In regard to prayers:
know by my own experience that
prayers are answered. because my
prayers have been answered with
swiftncss and again they were delayed.
God does not answer our prayers with
swiftness every time. We may ask
Him for something that we do not
really need at that time: that is why
God delays in answering our prayers.
But the right thing for us to do is
to keep on praying and never give up:
for God knows what we need before
we ask Him--St. Matthew SIS.
