I'm calling your bluff

It's amazing that God can prove himself over and over again and we can miss everything he is telling us. This past week I really stuggled with prayer. I have had the same prayer for the past 4 years and have not seen God show any interest in listening. I refused to believe that he listened and much less cared. I asked him "God if you hear my prayers show me that you are still there". He showed me once, I didn't listen. He showed me twice, I didn't listen. He showed me 3 times, I listened. I now see that God really does hear me. I just think 4 years is too long to have to wait. But God is good and trust that he is there.
