It\u2019s in these situations that we must learn to trust God and pour out our hearts to Him. He knows what we need in each situation and whether the answer to our request is not the desired answer, we can be assured that God does answer prayer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In going through some computer files, I came across a table filled with some ways that God answers our prayers in a positive way. I don\u2019t remember where I found it, so I can\u2019t give credit to the person who took the time to put this chart together. But I believe it is worth sharing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" valign=\"top\" width=\"638\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>God Has a Positive Answer<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>YOU SAY<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>GOD SAYS<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>BIBLE VERSES<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cIt\u2019s impossible\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: All things are possible<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">Luke 18:27<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI\u2019m too tired\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: I will give you rest<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">Matthew 11:28-30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cNobody really loves me\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: I love you<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">John 3:16 &amp; John 3:34<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI can\u2019t go on\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: My grace is sufficient<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">2 Corinthians 12:9 &amp; Psalm 92:15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI can\u2019t figure things out\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: I will direct your steps<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">Proverbs 3:5-6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI can\u2019t do it\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: You can do all things<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">Philippians 4:13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI\u2019m not able\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: I am able<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">2 Corinthians 9:8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cIt\u2019s not worth it\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: It will be worth it<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">Romans 8:28<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI can\u2019t forgive myself\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: I forgive you<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">1 John 1:9 &amp; Romans 8:1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI can\u2019t manage\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: I will supply all of your needs<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">Philippians 4:19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI\u2019m afraid\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: I have not given you a spirit of fear<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">2 Timothy 1:7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI\u2019m always worried and frustrated<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: Cast all your cares on ME<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">1 Peter 5:7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI\u2019m not smart enough\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">Go says: I give you wisdom<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">1 Corinthians 1:30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"213\">You say: \u201cI feel all alone\u201d<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"244\">God says: I will never leave you or forsake you<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"181\">Hebrews 13:5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We may not know what today will bring, but we do not have to go through it alone.
