WHEN GOD DOES NOT ANSWER


Many believers complain that God does
not answer when they pray. God does always answer when we pray. We
just fail to recognize it. He might not answer in the way or in the
time that we expected. Most often we do not recognize it because it
was not the answer that we wanted or expected.
Many lack
confidence when they pray because they are living in sin and
disobedience. Others do not really believe. Some are foolish, they
want God's opinion in a matter, but they are intent on following
their own mind.
We must be serious when pray.
We read in
Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a
rewarder of those who seek Him."
Jesus said:“Ask, and it
will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be
opened to you. 8“For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks
finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9“Or what man is
there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a
stone? 10“Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake,
will he? 11“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give
what is good to those who ask Him!" Matthew 7:7-11.
The
apostle James wrote in James 1:5-8 "But if any of you lacks
wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without
reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith
without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the
sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect
that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8being a double-minded
man, unstable in all his ways."
Do not be doubting or double
minded. Be serious when you approach God. Trust, believe and expect
an answer. Jesus is faithful. He answers every prayer of those who
earnestly seek Him.
May Jesus bless you.
