Daniel 10:12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.

As soon as we pray, we are heard by God. We don’t have to wait on flashing lights or a sound coming from heaven to know we are heard. We must have faith to know we are heard. And if we know that He hears us–whatever we ask–we know that we have what we asked of Him (1 John 5:15).

We should never be intimidated over the delay of our prayers. The delay should not cause us to be dismayed, fret, or go into panic. Our responsibility is to believe without a shadow of a doubt that what we’ve prayed for shall come to pass.
