SOP - Day 2 - How the Father Hears and Responds to Our Prayers by Ptr. Bob Mellendrez

In this episode of Season of Prayer, we reflect on the message “How the Father Hears and Responds to Our Prayers” based on Luke 18:1–8—the Parable of the Persistent Widow. This teaching reminds us that God is not asleep, not distant, and never too busy. He is a loving Father who listens to the prayers of His children.Through the story of the persistent widow and the unjust judge, Jesus teaches us to pray continually and never lose heart. If an unjust judge responds because of persistence, how much more will our loving Heavenly Father respond to those who cry out to Him?The episode also explores how God responds to prayer in different ways:Sometimes YesSometimes NoSometimes WaitAll according to His will and perfect timing. Even when answers seem delayed, God is still working—for our growth, protection, and good.This message emphasizes that the Father:Hears every whisper and every cryProvides for our daily needsGuides us through His Word and the Holy SpiritComforts us in times of trials and strugglesListeners are encouraged to keep praying, keep seeking, and keep knocking, trusting that God knows our needs and responds with love, wisdom, and faithfulness. This episode is a reminder to remain persistent in prayer and confident that our Heavenly Father is always listening and always responding. 🙏✨
