9. I think God always hears our prayers
But sometimes his answers to them are "no", or "not yet". If God is supposed to be omnipotent and all-knowing, then his answer is always right (That's not to say I don't struggle with believing this, though! :) )

Did you ever see the movie "Bruce Almighty"? There was a scene where Bruce, as God, is sick of reading everyone's prayers, so he sets up an automatic "yes" response to each and every prayer - and this ends up causing a lot of trouble.
