Apologetics Forum: Ask questions about Christianity/Debate doctrinesWhy does god not answer my prayers?Are you praying selfishly or are you praying according to the will of God? In any case, what you may pray for is not God's plan for you. I have been in your shoes about a job I wanted but didn't get. What God wanted me to do is start my own business but instead, I went after for the job. The job lasted 2 months. It was a complete disaster and that I ended up hating that job. Shortly thereafter, I was forced into a stituation that I had to start my own business. Results? I have to admit, God knew what he was doing. I am so thankful for where I am now, working for myself. In addition, I am able to be of more service to my Lord than I would have been if I have stayed at that job. You see, my way of thinking got in the way of God's way of thinking. I put myself first before God and that is why I made a bad decision. My spirit was broken and I became humble to Him. He put me back in the same situation as I was in before I took that job with no money in my name. He directed me to start my own business. I went from dirt to slowly making a difference not only for my family but for myself and to those that the Lord leads me to in which he uses me to do His will. Again, are you praying selfishly for yourself or are you praying according to the will of God? |
