God is full of grace and mercy. The only problem I could see is that He is not a sugar daddy to be begged for things that are not relevant to His will. We can, for instance, beg for a million dollars but if there is no plan to use that for the kingdom of God, there is little likelihood that the prayer would be granted. So often, we want things that He sees as being dangerous to us in one way or another so He does not allow that to come to pass. However, He does give us comfort, love and compassion. I kind of forget sometimes that He is not moved by tears but I am. His love is never changing regardless of how we might feel. thank you for coming here and commenting. Absolutely.

God does answer all prayers, especially the prayer of Salvation. His mercy and the love He has for us is without any limit. You are right that prayer does not mean waving a 'magic' wand and getting everything that you want. What you need is what God will answer with. Sometimes, I have forgotten that and it is indeed good to pray for others, and get out of the self idea. No matter where I am when I pray, it is so wonderful to know that the Creator of the universe cares about us. Thank you again. Thank you for your prayers.
