No Unanswered Prayers
But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.”—Matthew 15:23 (NLT)
At one time or another everyone has had that terrible feeling that God is ignoring them. Perhaps it’s a prayer request that has been in your heart for years. After a while, it’s tempting to simply give up. Instead, ask Him to help you use your struggle to grow your faith.
Heavenly Father, I trust Your merciful nature, and trust there is always a reason—and an answer—that fits Your plan.
