Prayers and why God doesn't answer some of them.

[Umut]

I think I've figured out why God doesn't answer some of our prayers.

When we pray; we should surrender our free will, body and soul completely to God so that he may alter our free will, because that's what you're praying for right? You're praying for a difference, therefore you should surrender everything to God. I know we already do that; so I have another point.

When we pray; if we say: "Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me; a sinner! Lord, I ask of you to make Jenny like me, because I think she is a wonderful person and I want her to like me; please Lord, grant me this wish! Amen!"

But, think about it; you're interfering with the free will of Jenny. So I was just wondering if that's a logical way of explaining why God doesn't answer some of our prayers.

We should surrender our will to the will of God. If I have no will of my own, except that the will of God be done, that i will always have that for which I ask.

Our Savior always answers prayer. What people don't realize is sometimes the answer is NO, or NOT RIGHT NOW

 

[Bro. Gabriel]

God always answers prayer. It is not always in OUR time, or OUR will, but always in HIS time and HIS will.
