Thank you for the encouragement, brother John. Isn't God marvellous, and only He truly knows what we need and what is good for us? Doesn't He, only He know what our real problem is? Isn't He so loving and gracious that before we ask, He gives (i.e. before we realize our own problem, He takes the initiative step to show where we err). What shall we say but Halelujah to Him in the highest! Shalom Azure |

Shalom Azure, You known one possible reason for "unanswered" or "misanswered" prayer that biblenovice asked about is one that I'm sure most believers are guilty of: not waiting on the Lord. Like Abraham, we figure He needs a little human intervention or we jump on the first thing that comes along that fits into our budget assigning that as God's best. When we think we are in desperate need we forget how many times God's prophets urged His people to wait, to be still and to see God's mighty hand at work in our lives. Someone once shared this little gem with me: When God is preparing a work in our lives we can faintly see Him before us. But when He is actively doing a work in us (or for us) it's like He is out of sight, absent, we can only see clearly what He was doing after we have come through the thing. So when He seems the farthest away, that's actually the time that He is the closest. This is the time to be still and wait on the Lord. My 2cents to the mix |
