This is not always easy to accept, especially when praying for crucial issues such as healing for yourself and loved ones, a financial breakthrough, restoring a relationship or a new job. When issues such as these arise, we pray for a positive response to our request, yet it is <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-faith-prayer\/align-your-heart-with-gods-will\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">His will that is the deciding factor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are we unable to decide <em>how<\/em> our prayers are answered, but <em>when<\/em> they are answered. Prayers call for patience and persistence. How and when our prayers are answered is out of our control. This is a challenge because our natural instinct is to be in control of our situations and circumstances. In prayer, we surrender our control and will to our loving and merciful God whose perspective, view and knowledge of the bigger picture are beyond our comprehension and capacity. As children of faith, we must surrender to the wisdom and guidance of God\u2026a parent who wants what is best for His children. <\/p>\n<p>Tim Keller, author of the book <em>Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God<\/em>, wrote, \u201cThe final thought of every prayer must be for the help we need to accept thankfully from God\u2019s hand whatever he sends in his wisdom. Our Father alone knows what is best; granting our request might, in many cases, be our destruction.\u201d Keller goes on to explain that we must balance restful hope, submission to God\u2019s will and confident hope, as we continue to pray forcefully, believing that God will answer our prayers. In addition, we must avoid asking God to bend His will to ours. It is this delicate balance that helps us continue to pray without discouragement and doubt.<\/p>\n<p>When reading this book, I was reminded of the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/pray-your-presence-to-god\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">story of Abraham<\/a>, who God promised would become the father of all nations. Although he and his wife, Sara, were older, and God\u2019s promise took long to fulfill, the Scripture tell us, \u201cAgainst all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations.\u201d Prayer requires us to believe, be patient and pray frequently while trusting God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lord, teach us to have a restful and confident hope in You. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not all prayers are answered in the way we hope, but still we continue to pray and trust that God will give us an answer one way or another.
