God will answer

If we emphasize God above all else, he promises to answer our prayers. But God promises more than just that -- He promises to answer our prayers before we even pray! In Isaiah 64:24 (KJV), God says

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

Once again, we encounter the theme that God doesn't care about the specific words of our prayer. Rather, he cares about the state of our hearts. So, today, before praying, let us humble ourselves before him by removing those obstacles that separate us from his presence.
