In case you've been wondering, wonder no more--God does answer your prayers. What God does not do is this: He does not always answer your prayers as soon as you might like, and He does not always answer your prayers by saying "Yes".
God isn't an order-taker, and He's not some sort of cosmic vending machine. Sometimes--even when we want something very badly--our loving Heavenly Father responds to our requests by saying "No", and we must accept His answer, even if we don't understand it.
God answers prayers not only according to our wishes but also according to His master plan. We cannot know that plan, but we can know the Planner. And we must trust His wisdom, His righteousness, and His love.
Of this you can be sure: God is listening, and He wants to hear from you now. So what are you waiting for?
Thoughts For Today.
Gos says we don't need to be anxious about anything; We just need to pray about everything.
When God says "No", it's because He has something better in store.
A Tip For Today.
Prayer strengthens your relationship with God. So pray. Beth Moore writes, "Prayer keeps us in constant communion with God, which is the goal of our entire believing lives". It's up to you to live--and pray--accordingly.
A Prayer For Today.
Lord, make me a prayerful Christian. In good times and in bad times, in whatever state I find myself, let me turn my prayers to You. You always hear my prayers, God; Let me always pray them. Amen.
A Verse For Today.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
