Prayer Answered Faith Rewarded: A Personal Journey from Doubt to Faith Through Answered Prayer

Prayer Answered: Faith Rewarded is a deeply personal Christian testimony about doubt, failure, faith, and the extraordinary ways God can answer prayer.

There was a time when the author walked away from the faith he had grown up with. He questioned the Bible, trusted in his own ability to build a successful life, and eventually came to believe that many of the stories of Scripture were little more than fairy tales.

Then his carefully built life began to fall apart.

After a disastrous business decision brought him close to losing everything, he found himself doing something he had not done sincerely for a long time: praying.

What followed was not one dramatic moment, but a remarkable series of events over many years.

A desperate prayer on a lonely South African road ends with a car running out of fuel within metres of a petrol pump. A prayer from a hurting heart is answered within minutes through the unexpected words of a colleague. An attempt to help struggling families produces far more provision than seemed possible. Medical evidence says the chances of another child are virtually zero-yet after prayer and a decision to believe, Daniel is born. Years later, when every apparent route to emigrating to Australia seems closed, an unexpected pathway begins to open one step at a time.

Through stories of financial loss, family, work, immigration, disappointment, provision and unexpected answers, Prayer Answered: Faith Rewarded traces one man's journey from scepticism back to a faith he could no longer dismiss.

This is not a promise that every prayer will be answered exactly as we expect, nor is it a formula for getting what we want from God. It is the testimony of an ordinary person who learned to trust God before he could see the outcome.

For anyone who has ever prayed and wondered whether God was listening, this book offers a simple message of hope:

God still hears. God still works. And sometimes, when all you can see is silence, the answer is already on its way.

If disappointment has caused you to stop praying, perhaps it is time to pray again.Read less
