“Pray until things start changing and then pray some more. Even if things don’t change right away, keep praying. Don’t ever stop believing in prayer. Never lose your faith and never stop being grateful.”
Prayer is not a technique of approaching God and asking for what we want. Rather, prayer is a means of connecting with Him and realigning our hearts with His. Prayer is one of the most crucial components of our life as God’s followers, and it should not be underestimated.
Prayer should not be limited to church and Bible study. We can do it every day. Just as in any other relationship, if you do not spend time with that individual, your relationship will suffer. Prayer gives us the opportunity to spend time with God. It is a method to communicate with Him and match our hearts with His.
Have you ever prayed a prayer that God simply would not answer? Perhaps it appears like He is uninterested in fulfilling the prayer you have been pleading with Him to respond. What should we do?
There are lots of things we will never understand or comprehend, such as why some people are cured while others are not, or why some people get protected from disasters while others are not. We must understand that when our prayers are not answered, it does not always indicate that we are doing something wrong…sometimes we may be doing everything correctly…
Sometimes the answer to our prayers comes later. Our timeline differs totally from God’s. So, when God does not answer our prayers, we must believe that He is providing us with the best possible outcome.
God has promised to answer our petitions only when they are consistent with His character. When it comes to unanswered prayers, we may have to submit ourselves to trusting in God, who works everything for our good. So keep praying!
