Signs Your Prayers Are Answered

Asking and Receiving

When we pray or ask for something, we are intending to receive. This act of asking is filled with expectation and a willingness to receive the gifts that are meant for us. But, the key here is to be a good receiver. Sometimes, we ask for what we want or need but hold ourselves back from fully receiving the answers, whether out of fear or doubt.

The Power of Being a Good Receiver

Receiving isn’t just about getting what we want—it’s about being open and ready to accept the gifts we’ve asked for. It’s about softening your heart, releasing control, and allowing the universe (or a Higher Power) to guide you.

Now, I’ll share an example from my own life, specifically as it relates to my business and its evolution. I’m not here just to build a business—I’m here to practice the art of softness.

I’m here to go from unease to intuition, to clarity, and to live in alignment with the things I’ve asked for. It’s not about striving hard, but about listening to that still, small voice guiding me forward.

Connecting the Dots

You see, when we ask for something, it’s often not a one-time lightning bolt moment. It's not like God will answer you instantly with a grand gesture. The answers often show up through subtle signs, so you have to be aware of how things unfold in your life. You are a cooperative component in this process.

Take the time to look for the subtle clues. It’s about being attuned to those small inspirations and aligning your actions with what you’ve asked for.

Living in Alignment

We’ve all asked for things in life, right? Whether it’s more love, more abundance, better health, or even greater clarity. The question is—how much are we willing to receive those answers and take aligned action?

In my own journey of losing eight dress sizes, I asked for better health. It wasn’t just about asking and sitting back—it was about taking action. I didn’t wait for the perfect moment. I started small and made consistent changes. I acted like the healthy person I wanted to be, and in six months, the results came.

That’s how you know you’re living in alignment with what you’ve asked for. It’s not about forcing things. It’s about taking small, actionable steps, trusting the process, and allowing it to unfold naturally.

The Importance of Willingness to Receive

When you’re willing to receive, the answers come—but they may come in unexpected ways. I’ve seen this firsthand. Life is full of synchronicities, and those “coincidences” are often the answers you’ve been praying for. However, you must be willing to open your heart and receive what comes your way.

For example, when I was at a low point and had to shift my mindset, I asked for help, and I received exactly what I needed in the form of a job opportunity. I didn’t expect it to come from working at a gym, but that’s where my journey of growth began. It’s important to trust the process and be open to receiving your answers, even if they don’t look the way you imagined.

Patience and Trust in the Process

After you’ve asked, you need to patiently wait for the answers to arrive. The key here is trust—trust that the universe, or God, has a plan for you.

It’s easy to get discouraged or impatient, especially when we feel like things are taking too long. But, in reality, everything is unfolding in perfect timing. As you wait, be aware of the signs. You’ll be guided, whether through books, people, or signs that seem to appear out of nowhere. Keep your eyes open.

Taking Inspired Action

Once you receive your inspiration or guidance, take action. When I got the inspiration to apply for that job at the gym, I could have easily resisted. But instead, I chose to take inspired action. And that’s the difference between receiving an answer and doing nothing with it.

When you receive guidance, don’t hesitate. Follow the impulse. Even if it feels uncomfortable, it’s leading you somewhere. You don’t need to have the entire plan figured out—just take the next step.

Be Open to What Comes

Another key to receiving is staying open to unexpected answers. You might ask for one thing, and the answer might come in a completely different form.

I’ve experienced this in my own life, and I know that when you ask for something, you might receive it in ways you didn’t expect. Be open to those possibilities.

The Role of Faith

This brings us to faith—the belief that what you’ve asked for will come. You need to believe it’s on its way and take action from that place of belief. Faith is the bridge between asking and receiving. When you have faith, you open yourself to receiving more because you trust that it will come.

Final Thoughts: Letting Go of Doubt

Here’s the final thought for today: Doubt blocks the flow of what you’ve asked for. If you’re doubting or resisting, you’re shutting the door to the blessings that are on their way.

Let go of the doubt, open yourself to receiving, and allow the universe to bring you what you need. Trust in the process, trust in the timing, and trust that you are being guided every step of the way.

You are worthy of everything you’ve asked for. You are worthy of receiving. Just take action, be open, and let your faith lead you to what’s next.
