Bible Question (short): Is God obliged by the prayer of faith? |
Question (full): What if our request is contrary to God's will for us? Dear inmyheart, I pray for many different things from God. I prayed earnestly for God to heal my dog. But he became so sick and miserable that I felt it was God's will for me to spare him further suffering, and so I had the vet put him down. Is it not best to seek God's will, rather than insisting that He must honor my prayers? The problem I have with "wof" doctrine is that it presents a formlaic kind of religion: If you do this plus that God will answer your prayer by granting to you that for which you have prayed. But what if you pray for something that God does not want you to have? John |
