"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." Luke 22: 42
Even in the face of a denial from God we must always remember that it is more important that His will be done; in our lives and in everything. Our will only lives by sight. His will is eternal and requires our faith.
Don't listen to the lies of the enemy. God hears your prayers beloved and He does answer all of them. Sometimes the answer will be "yes" if we humble ourselves and turn from wickedness and are praying in alignment with His will for our lives. Sometimes the answer will be "wait" because He is still working on something within us, preparing us for the great plans He has for our lives. Sometimes the answer will be "no" but we have to trust that He knows better because the Bible tells us that He is working in all things for our good. Have you ever looked back on a decision or relationship that did not work out and think, "thank God!" At the time it sure seemed like the right thing but with the benefit of time and perspective, we see it would have been a poor decision? That perspective of time is what God already has, in every situation in your current life!
Live by faith, not sight. Let His will be done. Amen
