Usually if you pray from the heart, you get an answer–the phone rings or the mail comes, and light gets in through the cracks, so you can see the next right thing to do. That’s all you need.

About This Quote

Often, when you pray to God, you don't get an answer right away. But, if you believe in prayer and believe that there is a God that hears prayers, then you will be able to get an answer.There are many times when people don't get an answer immediately. Sometimes people have to wait days or weeks before they hear back from God about something they're hoping for.
