When Jesus Answers Your Prayers Immediately

By Erin Keeley Marshall2 min read

What prayer request are you talking about with Jesus? Picture the scene in Heaven, and trust that He’s responding with love.

“She answered God by name, praying to the God who spoke to her, ‘You’re the God who sees me! Yes! He saw me; and then I saw him!’ That’s how that desert spring got named ‘God-Alive-Sees-Me Spring.’ That spring is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. Hagar gave Abram a son. Abram named him Ishmael.”—Genesis 16:13–16 (MSG)

Grow Your Faith
