kernel

I need encouragement! I wish the Lord would give me a kernel of hope. I wish He would somehow let ne know that He is indeed answering my prayers for my kids! I'm so so frustrated! In the past, he hasn't answered my prayers, if He did, it wasn't exactly what I asked Him to do. Why is He silent...

Please ask the Lord to give me faith to KNOW that He is answering Mt prayers! I need them answered by the 1st of the year! Plz ask God to give me a kernel of hope that He is answering my prayers.
