Bible Question: Ok, I was looking at the issue of unanswered prayer as a postive thing, to help teach and/or show us that God knows our future and knows who, what, when, where we are going to interact with. Most information I have found deals with unanswered prayer being a negative and it is due to us not being alined with God, or having an unpure heart....can someone please help me understand? |
Bible Answer: And this is the confidence we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. You shall seek and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. And all things, whatever you may ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. (But)faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Or don't you know, brothers …? The woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband. So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But you ask, "Why aren't our offerings (prayers) accepted?" It is because the LORD is a witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been unfaithful. Yet, she is your companion, the wife of your marriage vows. Didn't God make you one? "I hate divorce," says the LORD God of Israel. We are confident that God listens to us if we ask for anything that has his approval. We know that he listens to our requests. (But) if you see another believer committing a sin that doesn't lead to death, you should pray that God would give that person life. This is true for those who commit sins that don't lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I'm not telling you to pray about that. We know that those who have been born from God don't go on sinning. Rather, the Son of God protects them, and the evil one can't harm them. |
