Have you ever prayed about something, but didn’t really expect God to answer…I mean really expect it? I’ll admit I have. Sometimes I’ve prayed because I knew I should, but doubted God would truly answer.
That same thing happened to a bunch of Peter’s friends. (Acts 12)
In the early years of the church, King Herod had many Christians murdered and many more put in prison. James, the brother of John, was put to death with the sword, and Peter was thrown into prison.
The night before Peter was to be taken to trial, a group gathered at Mary’s (John’s mother’s) house to pray for him. While they were praying, there was a knock at the door. A servant girl named Rhoda went to the door but didn’t open it.
“Who is there?” she asked.
“It is Peter,” the freed apostle answered.
She knew it was Peter—she recognized his voice! God had answered their prayers! Rhoda was so excited, she didn’t even let Peter in, but ran back to tell the group that he was standing at the door.
“You’re out of your mind,” they told her. “Maybe it is his angel.”
Peter kept knocking. Finally, they opened the door and were astonished to see Peter alive and well, standing right in front of them.
Why were they surprised? Why didn’t they believe Rhoda? While they were praying for Peter’s release, they didn’t really expect God to do it. Do you see it? We can pray about a situation and miss the glory moment standing at the door because of unbelief and low expectations that God would actually answer.
Sometimes, I fear we have lowered our spiritual expectations to match the experiences of people we know, rather than what we read in the Bible. We look around and see what has occurred in the lives of other believers, and that’s where we set the bar. As a result, we lead mediocre lives, forfeiting the abundant life Jesus came to give.
Rather than lower our expectations, let’s do what David did. In the Psalms he wrote: “In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” (Psalm 5:3 NIV).
David expected God to answer! I want to be a person! I think you do to.
Dear Lord, I bring my prayers before You today. Forgive me for praying and not expecting You to answer. Here is my prayer: (Fill in this spot with you own prayer.) I lay my requests before you and wait in eager expectation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
If you don’t keep a prayer journal, consider getting one. This could be a simple notebook, or a cute bound book with blank pages. The dollar store is a great place for cute little journals. Write down your prayer requests and then make a note as to how God answered and the date. His answer maybe…Yes. No. Or Wait.
If you’re believing God for a particular answer to prayer, leave a comment and say, I’m expectantly waiting for God to answer my prayer about (or for) ___________________. Then, let’s pray for the woman below your entry.
If you’ve never clicked on comment, I invite you to do so today and join the conversation. Great things are happening!

Bless you for your love and concern for your granddaughter.

Dianne I have faith that he will in his own time and the answer will be better than you ever expected or his reason for “ no “ will be revealed to you!
Sometimes he does answer your prayer but it is not the answer you wanted. We have to have perspective and believe that everything he does is for our good and will know in time.
I have had the same thing happen. Several times. Keep praying. God hasn’t answered all my prayers the way I have wanted, and sometimes it is just heartbreaking that what I thought should have happened didn’t, but I have been delivered through answered prayers in many unexpected and wonderful ways also. God is working in our lives. Hang in there.

Cathy -Im so sorry you are going through that. I’ve been where you are now with your son. My daughter took left home when she turned 18 and l we didn’t want her to but through her time away from us she KNEW we were praying for her. It took a year for her figure out a lot of adult stuff. She had to walk that path because she had to find out for herself what we had been trying to prepare her for being an independent adult. She didnt go the way we wished she had, but in her way she learned that God was still with her even though she walked away from Him too. As hard as it can be praying when the words dont come keep praying because the Holy Spirit will intercede for you and hold onto your faith a hard as you can, even if it’s by the strings of Jesus’ robe and He will answer your prayers in His time.

I am having a difficult time obtaining employment. I do not see why LGBTQIA has to be inter-woven with every position out there. I can not work for a company that expects me to turn my back on God’s word. I cannot spend my days affirming lies and mental illness as being someone’s “authentic self” because I know it is a lie. I am getting so far behind in my bills that until God steps in, I am sunk. Please pray for me and my family.

After each of us lost our first spouse, we were introduced by a mutual friend. We were both lonely- so after only 6 months of dating, we got married. He’s a good Christian man- we both love Jesus. Second marriages are HARD! I’m praying God will change my heart attitude- to be able to accept and love Tom as he is. We are very involved in our church, and I’m a strong believer in prayer and God has answered many of my requests.. We’ve been married 6 years- both in our early 70’s- and I want this marriage to work. Please pray for me!

I am praying everyday to be able to see my grandchildren their Mother has taken them away from us and we have practically raised them sine they were born. The mother and my son never married and my son is not taking the responsibility that he needs to and therefore the courts have said we have no rights to see them it is heartbreaking. as they used to be with us during the week and most weekends and now we do not get to see them because of their mother.
It is heartbreaking that grandparents have no rights in Georgia if the children want to be involved with us then they should be allowed and not taken away from us and their family members. I pray everyday that she will have a heart and change her mind and that the lord will guid her to the right path.

I’m expecting God to answer my prayers for healing.
I’ve been praying and searching for a new job for over a year. One that fits my values and provides for my family. I finally quit my current job because of the toll the travel was having on me and my family. It was a step of faith and I know He will provide. But it’s also scary as I get closer to my final day at my current role.

Lord, I am trying really hard to believe that healing is coming for my mother. We do not know what has happened to her and the doctors can’t seem to find anything. I know The Great Physician knows what ails her. My sister and I are about on empty taking care of both of my parents at the same time. There seems to not be enough hours in the day Lord. Come Lord Jesus, bring calm and peace to my mother so she can regain some of her independence! Thank you Lord for going before me and help me to not get ahead of the day. You are good You hear my voice and I wait expectantly as did your servant David.
Amen

Dear God, I’m praying for my son to get a job with benefits and good pay to take care of his family and that they will find a new place to move before their June deadline that is affordable for them. Lord I also ask your mercy and provision for us to find our new home in a good neighborhood below $350,000 where we can pay upfront a greater down payment to have a lower than 30 year mortgage as we retire. It would be very helpful to see the sale of our current properties also come through to help us with this goal to determine where we will live next. In Jesus name with thanksgiving I pray Amen.
I am believing for my blood pressure to return to normal.
I’m seeking prayer right now for a single mom at our church. She has a 10 year old boy. The boys father is in prison. His parents are trying to get custody of him and are continually taking her to court. She needs a lawyer for a court summons she was served yesterday which will cost her money she does not have.

I am praying expectantly for accusations against my husband and three other people at my husband’s office to be removed.
I am praying for wisdom in several family matters.
I’m expectantly waiting for God to answer my prayer about what I should be focusing on as it pertains to my personal and professional goals.
I am a full-time sole caregiver to my Mama Joan a brainstem stroke survivor and through my caregiving experience, I have learned that there is a significant gap in research and resources specifically tailored to the needs of Black daughter caregivers. This underrepresentation within the healthcare and caregiving systems inspired me to create Hey Caregiver! a lifestyle brand that prioritizes self-care for family caregivers and The Binti Circle, a support network dedicated to addressing these disparities and offering culturally tailored support for Black women caring for their parents.
I’m also expectantly waiting for God to answer my prayer for scholarships and donations toward my Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) studies at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My student loans were forgiven praise God and school debt is not an option, especially as an unpaid family caregiver. However, as a Black daughter caregiver, I understand firsthand the importance of culturally responsive support in this role. By pursuing a DrPH, I aim to deepen my understanding of the intersection of race, gender, and caregiving, and to develop effective interventions for addressing disparities in health and well-being within this community.
While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) acknowledges caregiving as a public health priority and that the health of caregivers is at risk, systemic health and social injustices frequently result in worse health outcomes for Black caregivers, particularly Black daughter caregivers.
I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Eswatini when I learned that Mama Joan was on life support. That was August 5, 2018. God has indeed turned my pain into purpose as this is not the life that I would have chosen.
These are a few of the scriptures that I hold on to: Jeremiah 29:11-13, Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 118:5-9 and Psalm 32:8-10.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
I have been widowed for nine years. I am praying expectantly for God to send another Godly man of respect. The desire of my heart is to once again be in a loving relationship. Thank you for praying with me.🌷

I’m expectantly, waiting for God to answer my prayer about my relationship that my whole heart believe was God ordained from the beginning. And we both both allowed the enemy to intervene. I believe in the true power of prayer and bringing this relationship back to where it’s supposed to be with God first. Let God reign in both of our hearts, mind and soul.
I am embarrassed to admit that have been praying and hoping for years that God would miraculously release me from my addiction and dysfunctional relationship with food. However, I have lost hope and have never really expected Him to act. Maybe that is why He hasn’t delivered me – I don’t have enough faith to believe that He will?
Do not lose hope Kim, God is always there for those who call on Him. You are aware of your food addiction, you know what you need to do, so use God’s strength to help you make the necessary changes, I believe that you do have enough faith in God, and I believe that when you make that true commitment – to Him; to yourself, then you will dig deep, and come out fighting along side God to overcome and conquer this. I am praying with you Kim – and I know I am not the only one!

I’m waiting for God to answer my prayer about healing me from this illness and to be able to have a family of my own. As I approach menopause, I’m getting discouraged. I’m in a long distance relationship with this guy and my church does not approve of him. This guy says he already accepted Christ and prays morning and evening. We met here in my country while working together in a restaurant. Because his contract ended he had to leave and now is in Spain. He says he will come back for me. I don’t know if that is true but taking each day at a time and put my trust in the Lord. If it’s God’s will that we will be together then what this guy says is true and will come back. I’m challenged each day with my illness and wishing that I will be healed and set free.
The other thing that I pray for is that myself, family, and friends will be part of the rapture.

Please pray for my son and daughter-in-law (M&K). They are having a rough time in their marriage. I pray, above all, that they would have the joy of their salvation in Christ. I also pray that they would experience joy in the marriage union that God has given them. Thankfully, they are seeing a marriage and family counselor. I pray that even though this person may not be a Christian that God’s Words would be what they hear.
She is also dealing with religious trauma from past experiences and is in counseling for that too.
Praying my husband will step up to lead in our marriage and community and local congregation

Our Sunday school classes have so many heartbreaking prayer requests. Yet we know God is stronger than our pains, troubles, and heartache. He is Glorified through each of us when we Thank and Praise His Name and Trust His Will be done. Oh Lord
Humanly speaking it is overwhelming to think of the number of prayer requests that You receive each minute of every day throughout this world. To think that You care so much about each and every prayer, is mind boggling. Yet we do believe this and You do answer our prayers. Thank You Jesus. I pray You will allow each of these Your Children here and around Your world to know Your Presence and be confident in Your Word Please never allow our hearts to wonder away from You or Your Word. “I believe in God The Father Almighty,Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He will come to Judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, GOD’S holy worldwide Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the Resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. We pray in The Name of and through Jesus’ precious Life and Blood Amen
