journal/UNANSWERED PRAYERS

There are MANY different types of prayers-adoration-thanksgiving-contrition-and petition

PETITION prayers-when they are not answered affirmatively and right away-often seem to disappoint us

Dear Lord-WE ASK that you teach us to pray like Jesus in that we say "THY WILL BE DONE"
ALL PRAYER is answered according to GOD'S WILL for our lives

It is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S love and HIS WILL for our lives!












UNANSWERED PRAYERS




One of my favorite songs
Is a song called, “Unanswered Prayers”
By Garth Brooks


It is about a man
Running into his old girlfriend
Many years later


“She was the one
I had wanted for ALL time”


And it is about the man
Being thankful
That his prayer was not answered
And him being thankful
That he was
With the woman he was with
His wife


Often times
GOD KNOWS
What is best for us
Even before we do


“Be still and know
That I am God” Psalm 46:10


Have you ever prayed
Like that-for someone
Or something


I have-SO BAD
That I thought
That my heart was breaking
That I thought
I was going to die


All I ever wanted
Was that special someone
To call my own
To BUILD a family with


BUT GOD SAID NO


“Oh Lord-you have searched me
And you know me” Psalm 139:1


I have ALL these friendships
With all these beautiful women
And men in my life


God KNOWS us
Better than we know ourselves


90 per cent of all marriages
Where one of the parties
Are disabled
Or has a severe chronic illness
End in divorce


“Sometimes I thank God
For unanswered prayers”


She was the one
I had wanted for all time


“Search me-Oh God
And know my heart
Test me
And know my anxious thoughts”


If you are my friend
Woman or man-KNOW THIS
I am committed to you
And I love you


“Sometimes I thank God
For unanswered prayers”
