God Answers Prayers

Today we begin a series of blogs on the theme "God Answers Prayer"

Prayers are our connect with God. But many questions may pop-up in our minds regarding prayer:
1. Why should I pray?
2. Does God answer prayers, he must be pretty busy, so does my prayer count?
3. Sometimes I wait so long for answers, is something wrong? 

So to find answers for all such questions, our best source is to look into the bible, so we will do exactly that and seek to answer these doubts and questions.

In this series we will learn about the prayers of many people from the bible and how it has impacted their lives and the people around them.

In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning.  " In this competitive world there is always so much to study and deadlines to meet. Many of you are burning the midnight oil to complete your projects, prepare for exams, etc. But let me draw your attention to a new kind of oil God talked about to his chosen people, Israel.
