Those who pray do not have to interpret circumstances.
They simply recognize the Lord.
Whe God answers prayer, He always does it in a way that exceeds expectation. Where there is no prayer, much of what the Lord does passes by as coincidence, or goes entirely unnoticed.
Similarly, the one who trusts the Lord and tells Him so in prayer, knows that He will do what is best. Prayer also enables the Soldier of The Cross to wait for God's time.
His way is the only way. He is known and seen by faith and by nothing else.
