Prayers are often answered in the most unexpected ways. Preconceived notions can cause us to miss the answer when it comes. Therefore, we must always be receptive and alert. Most especially, we should be grateful, regardless of how the answer is delivered or by whom. The Lord will send us angles and answers to our prayer, but we must be willing to receive them.
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
