We don’t always understand why God doesn’t answer our prayers in the way we expect — and to be honest, it’s not always easy for us to accept.
Do you realize how loving God is? What manifestations of His love do you observe in your life? Take a few minutes to list at least three ways He demonstrates His love for you. God’s love for humanity has been evident since creation. Even when sin entered the earth, God guaranteed His love to each successive generation. He promised never to abandon us and that He would always help us. God’s ultimate act of love for us was to send Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and then revive Him three days later.
Even though it hurts at the moment, God loves us and knows what is best for us. We see just a small portion of what He sees, and His intelligence is far more than ours. He sees the entire scenario. When we get angry with Him, He doesn’t reject us even if He is aware of our feelings. God, on the other hand, wants us to turn to Him and experience the fullness of His love. God satisfies our most profound needs and desires. There is nothing that we could ever do that would lessen or stop His love for us.
Never forget that God loves you more than you can ever know or you can imagine. You were made by Him to love Him and to love those around you. Share His love consciously each day, and observe the blessings He bestows upon you.
I pray that you will likewise turn to God every day and find the long-lasting emotional and spiritual support you require in Him. And ask God to use you to aid others in your prayers.
