Faith in Prayer

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Even the true devotees sometimes think that God doesn't answer their prayers. In fact, He answers quietly according to His laws. However, as long as God has no absolute trust in the devotee, he will not answer clearly. He won't talk to the righteous. The King of the Universe is so humble, that He speaks not to influence the devotee's free will, that you may accept Him or reject Him! Once you know Him, you have to love Him. Who could resist the Irresistible? However, you need to show God unconditional love to be able to know Him. You need to have faith. You need to know that even when you're praying, He's listening. That way, God cannot become insensitive to your prayer.
