Luke 1:13
"But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John."
The Lord heard the earnest prayers of Zacharias and Elisabeth through the years. They had prayed for a child their whole marriage, but it wasn't until they were very old that the Lord answered these prayers. Their son, John the Baptist, was meant to come later in their lives so he could prepare the way for the Savior. The Lord heard their prayers but did not answer right away. He answered when it was best.
