Some people believe God answers all our prayers. After all, the Bible says, “Ask and you shall receive,” right? But what does it mean for God to answer our prayers? Does it only mean doing exactly what we asked for, or are there other ways God responds? With that in mind, here’s your REAL Conversation for the week:

What are the ways God responds to our prayers?

Answer this question with your family. Use it as a conversation starter to think about how God is at work in your life all the time. While you’re doing this, remember what St. Paul wrote to the Christians in Philippi: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ~Philippians 4:6
Prayer is conversation and God wants you to talk to Him!
