I listed my requests clearly and specifically. I got no answer for the week : ( Questions; 1. Am i very demanding ? but i honestly in great need, i was very sad. 2. Am i lack of faith ? i really emptying myself waited for God to perform miracle. 3. God wanted to use my current situation to glorify Him? But if God allow to change my current situation the glory definitely is much greater than what is now. Those people who loves me and in need of my help can be my witness. So now, why God ? aren't we created to glorify God.God loves praises and joy rather than mourning ? if you show me the rich young man or Job the righteous man story, i honestly and humbly repented all and any of my sin in the name Of our dearest Lord Jesus Christ who is our Savior and Advocate. i need only have Faith in my Jesus Christ? |
Bible Answer: Praying in Jesus’ name means asking God the Father to answer our prayers because we come in the name of His Son, Jesus. It means the same thing as praying according to the will of God. "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of him" 1st John 5:14-15 You must pray for things that will honor and glorify Jesus. If what you asked for was not for God’s glory/according to His will, do not expect it to be "granted." Also, you say you got no answer for the week. Remember that God answers every prayer that is lifted to Him. Just because what you asked for has no happened in a week does not mean the prayer went unanswered. Sometimes God answers "no" or "wait". Be patient: "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth” -Psalm 37:7-9 |
