Hi everyone, I listened to a sermon on this topic of does God always answer our prayers. Sometimes our prayers are not answered and this sermon helps to explain may be why and what we do about it. I am sharing the transcript below of the sermon. The sermon is based on (John 14). In relation to myself my love for God is not dependent on whether God answers my prayers or not and love shouldn't be dependent on whether our prayers are answered. Many other faiths do not expect anything from God. I feel that God has equipped me with the Holy Spirit and that should set me up for life through prayer. For what God has given me I mostly have not asked for it, but am thankful for everything God has given me in life. Sometimes prayers are not answered because they are not the will of God. Also, God's timing is important as well. God too sometimes may answer us as Paul found in ways that are sometimes different to what one is asking.
Human life can be frail and ebb and flow and we need to focus on the next journey beyond to eternal life through Christ. God’s love is not limited to just those who are healthy. God’s promises are real and we all have unique journeys that we cannot comprehend sometimes, but we have to have trust in God. God can help you to heal hurt if you let him. Jesus will give you comfort as his promise is in (John 14:16) when Jesus promised to send his followers the Holy Spirit which is the Comforter. Jesus is always walking with you.
