Answered Prayers

"As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed..." Daniel 9:23 

Happy Monday! At this point of Daniel 9, an angel visited Daniel as an answer to his prayers. What I love about verse 23 is the fact that Daniel hadn't finished the prayer, but God had already answered it. Although God already knew what Daniel needed, prayer was the first step. Yes, God knows the heart (Jeremiah 17:10), yet he wants relationship and communication with his children. God answers prayers right on time- whether immediately like Daniel or if waiting is required like Abraham. Trust in his perfect timing. He hears you.
