We are not the answer. Jesus is the answer. 

We must have faith. We must always believe that only in Jesus will we find answers to our prayers.

We must always believe that God answers our prayers even when it appears that God isn't answering us. We must have faith. We must be patient. 

We must always have faith to believe that God hears our prayers and be patient enough to wait for God's answers.
