Prospering doesn\u2019t have to do with just money and possessions but can instead mean your faith walk. Sometimes the poorest people are the most prosperous when it comes to their faith walk. The above verse says that God is far away from the wicked, meaning He distances Himself from them, so therefore He is not the one that helps them prosper. God does, however, hear the prayer of the righteous. He doesn\u2019t&nbsp;<strong>maybe<\/strong>&nbsp;hear them, or hear just&nbsp;<strong>some<\/strong>&nbsp;of them, but He&nbsp;<strong>does<\/strong>&nbsp;hear them and He hears&nbsp;<strong>all<\/strong>&nbsp;of them. We can trust that our prayer reaches God just how we intended it and through faith and patience we will see the fruition of those prayers. Pray with confidence &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; today and relish in the fact that you have fulfillment in life and aren\u2019t chasing empty things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
