Welcome to day four of our journey through 21 days of prayer and fasting. Often in the Christian walk we question whether or not God hears us. Do our prayers reach heaven? Does God care? Is He listening when I need Him most? The answer to those questions can be found in the life of Samuel from the Bible. Support the show

Yet, His promise in Proverbs 3:5-6 shows us that if we pursue Him and trust in Him, everything will be taken care of. Our God is faithful, and this is a reminder we all need! Support the show
