WHY ARE MY PRAYERS NOT BEING ANSWERED?
"However, in the event that You can do anything, have compassion for us and help us!" And Jesus said to him, 'On the off chance that You can!' All things are conceivable to him who accepts."
Mark 9:22-23
Have you ever felt like God was simply not noting your supplications? That is to say, you petition God for harmony, you appeal to God for shrewdness, you petition God for a mate, you appeal to God for a work, you appeal to God for your union with improve, you appeal to God for your monetary condition to improve and there is no answer from the Lord. UGH! In the midst of great quiet, we contemplate internally, "What gives, God? What is the purpose of petition on the off chance that You don't reply?"
Is there any force in petition? Indeed!!! However, regularly we miss the vital fixing to supplication - FAITH. I accept that perhaps the main motivation we don't see God do extraordinary things in light of our petitions is basically in light of the fact that we don't really accept that that He will truly respond to us. The saying is unquestionably obvious: "Ask and accept, and you'll get; ask and uncertainty, and you'll manage without." Be straightforward … would you say you are truly accepting that God will respond to you?
TRUSTING PRAYERS
In the ground-breaking little book, The Power of Positive Praying, my dear companion, Dr. John Bisagno, recounts the narrative of his five-year-old little girl, Melodye Jan. She inquired as to whether he would fabricate a doll house for her in the back yard. John was caught up with examining, and he affectionately forgot about her by saying, "Sure, sweetheart." While fascinated in his books, Dr. John saw his daughter conveying her toys and dolls out to an edge of the patio. At the point when he asked his significant other what Melodye was doing, his better half stated, "You guaranteed you would fabricate a doll house, and she trusts you. She is simply preparing for it."
Dr. John shot up out of his seat and went to work fabricating his girl a doll house. Why? Since she needed it? No. Since she merited it? No. The explanation he had the opportunity to work so rapidly is on the grounds that he had given his statement, and she trusted him and followed up on it. John stated, "When I saw her confidence, nothing could shield me from doing my assertion."
WILL YOU START TO BELIEVE GOD?
God needs to answer your supplications. He needs to do extraordinary and strong things in your day to day existence. He is a decent Father who yearns to do "surpassing richly past all we ask or think" (Eph. 3:20). Yet, He won't do, on the off chance that we won't trust Him. James, the Lord's stepbrother, cautions us concerning supplication, "However let him ask in confidence with no questioning, for the person what doubts' identity resembles the surf of the ocean driven and threw by the breeze. For let not that man expect that he will get anything from the Lord, being a twofold leaning man, insecure in the entirety of his methodologies" (James 1:6-8).
What is that issue that is substantial on your heart? What is that BIG dream? Get it to God petition. Realize that He wants to think about it and is capable. He is the One who vows to give us our deepest longings as we take pleasure in Him (Ps. 37:4). On the off chance that you realize you are imploring as per His will (1 Jn. 5:14-15), by confidence, begin moving your "dolls and toys" to the terrace. When you do, you will see God emerge and construct that "doll house." How would I know? Since He guaranteed!
