God Still Answers Prayer

"One of the excuses we offr for our lack of faith is the old cliche, 'God helps those who help themselves.'
Rather, God helps those who trust Him to solve their problems.
My own experience substantiates the evidence of Scripture that our actions in any given situation are more important to God than our thoughts or intellectual belief.
Jesus was not being facetious when He said that even faith of the mustard-seed variety can win great things from God.
The greatest answers to prayer in our family have come at times when our faith was so small as almost to expect the worst.
Until we took hands off and really turned the problem over to God, He could not help us.

Do we trust God enough to put the ultimates of life-the things affecting health, life, and death, basic economic needs-into his hands?
If we do, that-in God's eyes-is faith, and He will always honor it."
