Radiation Treatment Week 4 – Have My Prayers To God Been Answered?

Week four of radiation treatment for prostate cancer begins in a few hours. Last week I wrote about time to give thanks. About prayers to God. When God answers our prayers, we do give thanks. Don’t we? But do we always recognize when and how He answers our requests?

How does God answer prayers?

God might answer our prayers in at least four different ways.

1. Giving us what we asked for
