Only believe.  God honors faith in Him.  Dreams and hopes may get tossed by the winds of circumstances but that does not change God’s mind about answering our prayers.  Many years may pass by but God has not forgotten that we prayed.  Others may laugh or say forget it but God gives every reason to never give up.  Sometimes the answers come through a totally different avenue than the ones imagined but it will happen because He hears and answers prayers.  It’s exciting to know that the answer will exceed even the greatest expectation. 

Matthew 21:21-23

Then Jesus told them, “Truly, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this Mount of Olives, ‘Move over into the ocean,’ and it will.  You can get anything—anything you ask for in prayer—if you believe.”
