It’s easy to feel discouraged when prayers seem to go unanswered. But here’s an encouraging truth: God hears you from the very first moment you pray. Just like Daniel, who received confirmation that his prayers were heard from day one, your prayers reach God instantly. The delay in seeing results doesn’t mean God isn’t listening or doesn’t care. Instead, it often means He’s working in ways we can’t see, orchestrating circumstances and timing for our ultimate good. This truth should fill us with confidence and peace, knowing that no prayer goes unnoticed by our loving Father.

“Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and humble yourself before God, your words were heard.” – Daniel 10:12-14
