Prayer That Is Answered

ANEETA H. PETERSON

Are your prayers answered? If not, why not? There is probably nothing more needed in anyone's experience than a feeling that there is a God who cares and does answer prayer.

We can all learn how to pray. The disciples said to Jesus, "Lord, teach us to pray."^{Luke 11:1;} And he gave them the Lord's Prayer. Christ Jesus continued to teach them by his words and his life what constitutes effective prayer. The disciples learned progressively to see their prayers answered; so can we.

Many of us believe that all things are possible to God. That trust is tremendously helpful and often brings beautiful results. But is trust enough? Christian Science goes beyond simple faith— essential as this is—and teaches that we need to understand the very nature of God. And Science shows us how to do this.
