When our hearts were right with God, our lives then were a prayer. He GRANTed us the things we asked for; even things we were not asking for.
But now, when we asked something from Him when we pray at times, He is ever faithful to ANSWER our prayers. But the answers are not as according to our asking. And so we realized that we have allowed ourselves to be slowly drifted away from Him. The everyday concerns of living have gradually weakened our anchorage and loosened our mooring to Him.
Even though God always answers our every prayer, yet we now fail to recognize and understand the way He is answering our prayers, because now that we have slowly drifted away from Him, our thoughts are no longer fully aligned with His thoughts. Our way of thinking now has started to become out of line with His way of thinking.
So now, says the Lord God: "My people, if you would only firmly secure your mooring back to Me, strong currents will no longer carry you away from Me. If you would only put your anchorage firmly back to Me, you shall regain the strength to sustain against strong winds."
