I prayed with faith, and God didn’t answer. That’s so confusing.
Do we have the courage to pray big prayers for specific things? Or do we fear not being answered so we just keep it general?
We both share recent stories of praying for things we believe align with God’s will, that we’re confident that He can do, and yet He doesn’t. Instead, He invites us to surrender, to thank Him even when He says “No”, and to receive His comfort.
When it feels like trust has been broken, do we dare continue to ask God for more?
Psalm 86:17 asks God, "Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me."
For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. - Psalm 30:5
We have to choose to trust again. We have to recall His character, keep believing, and come boldly to our Father to ask in faith for great things (and small things).
Look at the prayers He has answered and keep praying. God Himself told us to keep banging on His door and asking for good things.
