Christian Reflection and Prayer

 We don’t always get what we pray for. But we
always get what we need, and that makes all
the difference. When we pray for one thing and
we don’t get what we asked for, it feels as though
one of two things has happened. Either God didn’t
hear our prayers, or He has denied us a gift. But
neither is true. God hears every one of our prayers.
Sometimes He says “yes” and other times He
says “no.” But when God says “no,” it’s not
because He doesn’t want us to have good things.
When God says “no” to what we asked for, it’s
because He has something even greater to give us!

 

When your prayers seem to go unanswered, thank
God for your unanswered prayers because those
are often the greatest gifts of all.
