Do we believe God hears are prayers?

I will tell of something that happened to me a few months ago.

I had some cleanup and yard care near my house which included chainsaw use. It was getting dark, and I was quitting for the day.

As I walked across the lawn and to the shop, I took off my earmuffs (hearing protection). When I got to put away the chainsaw I realized one of my hearing aids was missing. As you may know, hearing aids are an expensive thing to lose.

My thoughts went over the last few minutes of where I had been. I knew it shouldn’t be hard to find if it fallen on the travelled part of the gravel driveway, but if it had fallen on the lawn and was in the grass, it seemed hopeless.

I got a flashlight and went looking; but it wasn’t on the driveway. I think it was as I approached the grass, that I stopped to pray.

It was not many minutes after I prayed that I located the lost hearing aid on the lawn. I am convinced that God hears and answers prayer.
