“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” – Matthew 7:6-7

American Missionary Dr. David Fite was arrested in Havana in 1965. He received a six-year sentence on the fabricated charges of illegal currency exchange by a Cuban court. He was also charged with counterrevolutionary activities and ideological diversionism. At the time of their arrests, Fite was a teacher and pastor in Havana.

He was incarcerated for three and a half years before being released in November 1968.

During his imprisonment, every evening at the supper table his children would pray for his release.  In fact, the prayers became such a routine part of constant intercession, that the day Fite got back to his family and asked one of his sons to turn thanks at supper, the boy began:  “Dear God, please let my daddy out of prison—“ and he stopped and looked up then prayed-“Oh, you've answered that one.”

God answers prayer! Today in prayer, bring before Him your needs, worries, and cares, and be confident that He will answer them.

“The whole canon of Bible teaching is to illustrate the great truth that God hears and answers prayer.” – E.M. Bounds

God’s Word: “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” – Mark 11:24
