“Zechariah said to the angel, ‘How can I be sure this will happen? I’m an old man now, and my wife is also well along in years.’
—Luke 1:18
Have you ever prayed for something, but it took a long time for God to answer it? Then again, have you ever prayed for something, and the answer came so quickly that it almost scared you? You didn’t believe that your prayer could be answered that quickly. That is why we need to pray about things.
God paid attention to the prayers of godly Zechariah and Elizabeth. And He was about to answer them.
The Bible says, “You don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it” (James 4:2 NLT). There might be a situation in your life right now that prayer could change. Maybe it’s a financial crisis, a hurting marriage, a prodigal child, or a medical condition. Have you prayed about it? God may not answer your prayer immediately. But sometimes He will.
