The Old Testament folks always had to resort to the Prophets and seers to inquire of the Lord. It wasn't a common revelation to the people to talk directly to God in prayer and expect to receive an answer from Him.
However, when Jesus came, He made it clear to us that it was the Father's desire to boldly and confidently talk to the Father in prayers and receive answers: "and in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it to you. Hitherto, have ye asked nothing in my name: ask and ye shall receive, that your joy maybe full" (John 16:23-24).
The day that Jesus spoke of is not a twenty-four hour day, but a dispensation, a season, a set time in which you could make requests and receive answers to your prayers. Thanks be unto God, this is the set time. We have come into that day that Jesus was referring to. We have the privilege of being able to pray and receive answers instantly. It is the Father's delight to answer your prayers; it is His good pleasure to give you the wonderful treasures of the kingdom (Luke12:32).
Therefore never doubt His willingness to answer you speedily when you pray. He has ordained you to receive answers to your prayers that your joy maybe full, therefore go ahead and make your request known to the Father, and He will grant you the desires of your heart.

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
You wil also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways. (Job 22:28, NKJV)
Today I declare that a shift is coming. Whatever you need – a shift in your health, a shift in your finances, or a shift in a relationship. It may not look like anything is happening in the natural, but we serve a supernatural God. He's about to breathe in your direction in a new way! The enemies you have seen in the past, you will see no more. The addictions or bad habits that have held you back are being broken in Jesus' name. God's favor is being released in a new way that will propel you forward. What should have taken you 40 years to accomplish, God is going to do in a split second!
The shift is acceleration. The shift means going beyond where you could go on your own. The shift is seeing Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our Provider, do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond. Now our attitude should be, "God I'm ready. I'm taking the limits off of You. I'm enlarging my vision. I may not see a way, but I know You have a way. I declare I'm coming into a shift!"
