What is God's Purpose To Answer Prayer?

When we pray we should consider specifically what we expect God to do to answer that prayer and then see if there is support for such an expectation in the New Testament. Muslims pray with faith as do other religions so to differentiate ourselves from them we must have Bible support for what we believe-expect-hope for.
 
When you ask God to comfort an individual:

  

  1. Do you believe except for your prayer God would not comfort/heal that individual?
  2. Do you fully expect God WILL not CAN but WILL comfort/heal that individual based solely on your prayer? (See what James says about praying with doubts and asking and not receiving).
  3. What was Jesus' and the Apostles' purpose to heal?
  4. What is God's purpose to respond positively to your prayer?
