Answered prayer through knowing God

BARBARA JUERGENS FOX

When Paul arrived in Athens, he saw an altar inscribed "TO THE UNKNOWN GOD" and told the Athenians, "Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you."^{Acts 17:23.} Immediately he began to explain to them about the one supreme, infinite God, about His Son, Christ Jesus, and about man's inseparable relation to God.

Even today many persons are still uncertain whether God exists or, if He does, what He is like, or how one can reach Him.

We may not be able to sit at Christ Jesus' feet or listen to Paul on Mars' Hill, but we do have their teachings in the Bible, that ultimate resource for proving God's existence, for describing His nature. The Bible gives innumerable examples of how persons faced with discrimination, oppression, war, hunger, disease, death, and natural disasters turned to God, in varying degrees of faith and understanding, and received health, joy, and peace of mind.
