Do you believe in God? If you believe in God, do you trust Him fully when you pray to Him? And by this I mean for an answer to any type of prayer, for example, healing of your body or mind, or bringing you through a difficult circumstance? If you truly believe in God as the maker of the universe, Father of all creation, then you must believe that God can do anything. Anything.
Look at the universe. It is immense! Stars and galaxies and planets, and the sun and the moon. How perfectly the earth fits into the solar system, with the right distance from the sun to regulate the earth's temperature, and the right distance from the moon to regulate the tides. How the earth turns on her axis to ensure all parts of the earth obtain light regularly. The atmosphere and the water cycle and photosynthesis and food chains. Plants and animals and humans which populate the earth in their thousands of incredible niches and relationships. Was this chance or perfect design by an awesome God? I believe this was an awesome design by creator God.
Now, if God created the entire universe, how can we not believe that God can answer a prayer which you or I may pray? Of course God can do it! He can do anything! What I do sometimes wonder is, will He answer my prayer the way I want Him to. If He doesn't, then I believe that God has either decided the time is not right, or has decided the prayer is not right for me. I am sure God is not going to grant our wants for greed and power and success if He knows this is not ethical or not what we need. And sometimes, a bit of striving and testing, as in waiting to find the right job to make money, or learning to deal with difficult people, will strengthen character. God sees the master plan, we see only a few small aspects of life in isolation, as if we are shining a small torch to light our stumbling way in the dark, and God is above everything seeing the whole picture and all its interconnections.
Trust God. Believe God. Believe God is able. God can do anything.
