1.What is providence; We often cant not trace out/know God's providence.  Providence is working at an exact moment. God will work out His eternal purpose for the total good for the whole human race.

Heb 11:24-26.  Suffering may come to us and be of great benefit Psalm 119:71.   God wants all to be saved 11nd Pet 3:9.   Salvation to obedient 1Thim. 2:4.

This week's sermon: God  will answer our Prayers. Introduction; Every prayer will be answered. There is no un answered prayers. Let us see how He answer our prayers.

1.He will  answer as say yes for our prayers: God will provide what we ask. Eli  prayers not to rain. It did not rain. And he asked for rain. It rain. Hannah prayed for son.  1Samuel 1:11.  Hezekiah   prayed He extend his life span Isaiah 38:2-5. And He will give us what is good for us.

2. He will answer no for prayers.: No is also answer. We feel it is not an answer. Parents did not give all the children asked. When Christ  prayed in Gethsemane. He answered no for Christ prayer. 1Corinthians 12:8 He did not heal to Paul. He said no.

3.God will wait to answer: We can read about Elizabeth and  Zachariah ; Luke 1. They prayed for a son for many years. But  At their very old age He blessed them with a son. He answered Jeremiah's prayers Jeremiah 42:4-7. But He waited 10days.

4.He will proved what is good for us;  he did not come to heal  Lazarus but he came to there but he give lift from the death. John 11:43,44. Roma 8:31,32.Soloman asked for knowledge but he blessed him with richness.
