Q. When I pray it seems that God doesn’t always answer my prayers. Can you shed some light on this subject?

A. Let’s look at it from a different perspective. God always answers our prayers, but it may not be in the way that we had hoped.

There are really three answers to prayer:

1. YES! If our wise Father sees it is for our blessing and according to His will He will grant the request. “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us” (1 John 5:14).

2. NO! If it is not for our good and not according to His will He will deny the request. That’s why we need to always pray in the spirit of the Lord Jesus, “Not My will, but Thine, be done” (Luke 22:42).

3. WAIT! This is perhaps the hardest answer of all. Sometime the request is right but the timing is wrong. Several times in the Psalms, David said, “Wait on the Lord” (Psalm 27:14).

The next time you have a request, listen for the answer of your loving God and Father, and accept the answer whatever it may be.

We would love to hear from you. Send your comments or questions to jhyland@primus.ca
