Be Careful What You Ask


For

Country and Western star Garth Brooks sings, “Thank God For Unanswered Prayer," a song about seeing an old flame he really wanted to marry, but it didn’t work out and he realizes years later that it was for the best. This is true in our relationship with God. It’s a key insight about prayer. God answers prayer...every single time. He does it in three main ways: yes, no, and wait awhile.

If it's yes, do we have the courage to move ahead in faith?

If no, are we willing to trust that God knows best, and accept it?

It may not be what we want, but it will always be for our best. This is what Garth calls "unanswered prayer." And if the answer is wait awhile, are we willing to do that?


”Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.“

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭33‬:‭3‬ ‭KJV‬‬
