UNANSWERED PRAYERS

In his book, Out of the Whirlwind, Mark Tabb explains why God doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we’d like Him to. He writes, “Job thought his prayers bounced off the ceiling unheard. He could not understand the silence from heaven. Yet the silence did not mean that God’s blessings were suddenly taken away. No, God had something much greater in mind for his servant. Through his nightmare Job would now bring glory to God not just on earth but throughout heaven as well. His resolution to continue believing in God even though everything around him screamed to do the opposite displayed God’s greatness and silenced his critic—something material blessings could never do.”

If you thought God could bring glory to Himself by not giving you what you ask for when you pray, would you be willing to hear “no” to your request?

Luke 22:42 NASB “Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Thine be done.”
