Read the following Bible passages. How did God answer the prayers?

The Israelites travelled from place to place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim but there was no water there for them to drink. So they grumbled against Moses. They said, "Why did you bring us out of Egypt? Was it to kill us, our children and our animals with thirst?" So Moses prayed to the Lord, "What can I do with these people? They are almost ready to kill me with stones."

(Exodus 17:1-4)

Then King David went in the tent and sat in front of the Lord. David prayed, "... With all your blessing, let my family be blessed forever."

(2 Samuel 7:18-29)

Jesus was coming near the city of Jericho. There was a blind man sitting beside the road, begging for money. When he heard the people coming down the road, he asked, "What is happening?"

They told him, "Jesus, the one from Nazareth, is coming here." The blind man cried out, "Jesus, Son of David! Please help me!"

(Luke 18:35-43)

After Herod arrested Peter, he put him in jail and handed him over to be guarded by 16 soldiers. Herod planned to bring Peter before the people for trial after the Passover Feast. So Peter was kept in jail. But the church kept on praying to God for him.

(Acts 12:4-5)
