God, please answer my prayers…
Why does God seem to not answer some prayers? It seems some of the examples are: “Help me with my job?”, “Help my wife get pregnant?”, “Why did I lose my child?”, “Why do I have cancer?”, or “Can you help me with my finances?”
What are your thoughts?
He does answer our prayers. The thought I have is that we don’t know the big picture. He knows the plan, direction we need to go, the lessons we need to learn, and the goal in mind to glorify Him. So no matter the answer or the direction we need to pray that we accept and seek His answers. I would say that if you wonder why he has not answered a prayer you need to look, listen, and seek Him for Wisdom. These are big words when all is going well but I pray that we all follow Him no matter during the good times nor the bad…
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)
