Why Does God Delays On Our Prayers

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Oct 20, 2014

Why do we doubt God’s ability to answer our prayers? Is there more to our prayers than we know? Is there more to us than we know? Do we know that God is already working his will through us? Are we grateful, possibly not?

Delays

Contributed by Lane Hastie on Feb 4, 2019

There are countless verses about the benefits of “waiting on the Lord,” BUT…I’ve found quoting the verses to be a whole lot easier than the actual “waiting on the Lord.” Sometimes it seems like God is running late. What’s the deal? Why is He making us wait? Why is He allowing this delay?

Answering Why

Contributed by Martin Wiles on Jan 27, 2013

In tragic times, we are tempted to ask why. The question itself is not wrong-after all Jesus asked it of his Father while on the cross, but it may not be the most appropriate question or lead to the best end.

Introduction: A. When tragedy strikes, we either grow bitter toward God or draw closer to him. B. Can God prevent tragedy? Yes. Why doesn’t he always? We can’t answer that. C. God is imminent and transcendent, but he’s not always imminent when we want him to be. D. As the writer ...read more

Why Does God Allow Suffering!

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 21, 2022
