If I pray for God to protect a loved one on a trip,
Or, that He be present with them in their sickness or struggle,
How can I be sure He will do what I ask?

If I do not see a sick man healed when I pray for him,
How do I know God is doing what I ask of Him
in those things I cannot see?

Sure, I know that every request is not answered
in the same manor,
the same space
or time.

But if I say, I want to know and see the actual result of my specific prayer
God might say, What is stopping you?
I have promised as much.
