PROMISE TO HEAR AND ANSWER PRAYER

Prayer, to Jesus, was very real and precious. Efforts in prayer were never in vain! Each and every prayer would receive an answer from His Father. The following text brings much encouraging insight.

“Thus says the LORD:
‘In an acceptable time I have heard You,
and in the day of salvation I have helped You; I will preserve You
And give You as a covenant to the people, to restore the earth,
To cause them to inherit the desolate heritage.”
Isaiah 49:8
