Prayer and Praise Brings The Answer.
The Word of God teaches us how that praise with prayer brings the answer to not only our needs but is able to to exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask. God know what we need ever more than we know.

1. The love of God that wants the best for us.

2. The wisdom of God that knows what is best for us.
