Keep in mind that God doesn’t pass us by. He always pays attention to what we have to say. Even if we are sinners, He always answers our requests. He constantly answers our questions. But His response could not always be yes; it might sometimes be negative. He might not also give us a response now, but he might do so tomorrow or another day.
