WHEN I WAS A BOY, MY MOTHER HUNG A SMALL PICTURE ON THE WALL THAT SAID, "HAVE YOU PRAYED ABOUT IT?"   SHE BELIEVED STRONGLY IN THE POWER OF PRAYER AND SI'M SURE PRAYED FOR ME.  

I ALSO HAVE UTILIZED THE POWER OF PRAYER BUT ALWAYS REMEMBERING THAT, GOD ALWAYS ANSWERS PRAYER, BUT SOMETIMES HE SAYS "NO."
