Thanks for your helpful response. I have replied to another member. There are many Christians of wisdom, faith and a close Christian walk with God who have unanswered prayer and further on in the James passage you quote there is a promise without caviats. Colin Uquart does say that unanswered prayer is a lack of faith. My initial verse states unambiguously "anything you ask". I have always answered this in the same way as you have but to unbelievers and Christians alike the Bible is non negotiable and we cannot add our own interpretations. I agree with your comments but I struggle to find our interpretation in scripture as many requests are made by people who know God's will, know the Bible and are people of faith. I am praying for the right answers!!! Every blessing Ian |

Ian, You said "My initial verse states unambiguously "anything you ask". and "Colin Uquart does say that unanswered prayer is a lack of faith." You go on to say "I struggle to find our interpretation in scripture as many requests are made by people who know God's will, know the Bible and are people of faith." Are you and Colin Urquhart doing like so many do with the scriptures? That is, fail to consider the whole counsel of God's word? This question is not meant to offend but rather stir you to think and dig back into His word! Consider the verse you are referring to (Matthew 18:19). Given the very next verse (v20) how is it we should then understand "anything you ask"? We can gather all we want but the key is, "...gathered in my name..." (v20). The requirement is consistent throughout scripture! It must be the will of God not our own desires! Steve |
