Prayer unanswered

“Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you. Just as a mother understands the first babblings of her infant, so does the blessed Savior understand sinners. He can read a sigh, and see a meaning in a groan.

Despair not because you do not get an answer immediately. While you are speaking, Jesus is listening.

If he delays an answer, it is only for wise reasons, and to try if you are in earnest. The answer will surely come. Though it tarry, wait for it. It will surely come.” – J.C Ryle, Practical Religion: Prayer

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 NKJV [17] pray without ceasing, [18] in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. (Hebrews 13:16)
