Just Went You Thought He Didn’t Answer

How many times have you prayed and it seemed like God didn’t answer you? You felt like He didn’t hear you or just didn’t care to do anything. You are not alone this is the most common feeling expressed by people who tried prayer and said their prayer didn’t work. While you’re not alone, that response isn’t okay, because it’s not accurate. Here’s why.

Scripture
“But let me tell you, Job, you’re wrong, dead wrong! God is far greater than any human. So how dare you haul him into court, and then complain that he won’t answer your charges? God always answers, one way or another, even when people don’t recognize his presence.
-bible.com/bible/97/JOB.33.12-14.MSG

God always answers one way or another. You just overlook or miss His answer because you wanted one thing, but He wanted another. Which way do you think it should go? His way or yours?

[Pray This] Oh Lord, forgive me for my limited thinking. I was pouting over my prayer request that didn’t go the way I wanted. I didn’t consider that Your way trumps mine. Going forward, I look for Your response even when it’s opposite of what I want, in Jesus’ name.

Your Action (What action based on your prayer can you take?):
I reevaluate the prayer I prayed that didn’t produce the outcome I wanted because regardless of the outcome, You always answer.
