When Prayers Go Unanswered: Trusting God's Timing

Red Section Separator By Love the Shepherd's Voice Sept 28, 2024

Cream Section Separator More often than we'd like to admit, we pray with a deadline.

What if the answer is 'NO' or 'WAIT'? Do we still trust God?

In these moments, we can feel dejected and distant from God.

We try to understand what God is thinking with our limited perspective.

Unanswered prayers may be for God's glory, to teach us patience or perseverance.

Use this opportunity to re-evaluate your spiritual life. Ask yourself, why do I follow Jesus?

Does this situation change your relationship with God?

Can we completely trust that God has the best plan for us?

He has been with us through every storm. He has definitely got our backs.
