Daily Encounter: A Week-day Devotional by a staff of ACTS International.

"The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth."¹

When praying for God's guidance, do you ever feel that your prayers are not rising above the ceiling? Or do you sometimes find it difficult to concentrate because your mind wanders all over the "wilderness" as it were?

It is true that (whether we feel it or not) God does hear our prayers when they come from the heart. As the old ditty says: "I often say my prayers / but do I really pray / and does the meaning of my heart / go with the words I say?" God doesn't always answer our prayers in the way we want, but he always answers them in one way or another. Let's also remember the importance of praying according to God's will and not our own. We may think we know what we need, but he can see the bigger picture and knows for certain what we need, not only for the moment, but for the future.
