What Happens when God Does not Answer Your Prayer

Have you gone through  trials and you feel that God has not given you a breakthrough? Maybe God has answered your prayer, but you did not realize it. You were looking for a different answer because you did not understand what God was doing in your life.

Begin to look at how God is shaping your life while you are going through trials. Are these trials intended for God to  use you in ministry for His glory? If so, God wants to give you the experience so you can help others. He wants you to depend on Him more as you go through your trials and build in you, character,  endurance, peace, patience, and love with your loved ones.

I did not understand why I was going through struggles with my son and later with my daughter, but I realize that God wanted me to love my family members, to increase my endurance and patience in my suffering and to share my experiences with others. That led me to write books and speak at workshops You too, can be victorious over your struggles by learning to submit to God’s authority, praying without ceasing, and believing that He will turn your life around in His time. In the meantime, know that God is going on this journey with you. He promises never to leave or forsake you. When God does not answer your prayer, He has a plan in mind.

I invite you to comment to this post by sharing how you reacted when God did not answer your prayer and what happened as a result of your submitting to His will.
