I Thank God For The Unanswered Prayers, Too
“But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.”
(Micah 7:7 ESV)
Prayer has transformed my life.
I’ve witnessed countless answered prayers. I’ve seen the Lord answer the prayers of friends and family. I’ve seen Him answer my own prayers. I’ve seen Him transform situations and people. I’ve experienced His provision. I’ve seen God move overnight, or within minutes, because of prayer.
But there’s also unanswered prayer.
I’ve encountered this many times, and chances are, you have as well. You may have experienced the pain, confusion, or heartache of a particular circumstance in your life that, for some reason, seems to be immovable or unchanging even after years.
There comes a point where you may think, God, I’ve done everything I could. What am I supposed to do now?
At the start of 2023, I don’t know where you are today or what unanswered prayers come to mind, but I can tell you this: In moments like these, you have the opportunity to encounter the richest, deepest lessons and transformation. There is more for you, even now — and you can be comforted and amazed at how much God can move in these seasons.
Recently, the book of Daniel has reminded me of the tremendous power of prayer and worship. You’re probably familiar with the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego facing the fiery furnace, but there’s also so much wisdom and encouragement from the events that take place beforehand. In the first three chapters of Daniel, here’s what we can learn about how to show up faithfully and recognize God’s hand, even in the midst of prayers that seem to go unanswered:

What I Got Wrong About Hearing God’s Voice
And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
(Psalm 9:10 ESV)
I’ve been curious about the topic of hearing God’s voice for a long time.
To think that an all-powerful and all-knowing God loves us so much that He desires a personal relationship with us through His son Jesus Christ. The same God who is perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4), capable of doing the impossible (Luke 18:27), and created all things (Colossians 1:16) sees me, sees you, and wants to be involved in our lives. (I’m in awe of that!)
But I remember being confused about what it actually looked like to hear Him and follow His voice in my everyday life.

Don’t Worry About Tomorrow | Video
Let’s be honest: It can be extremely hard to shake the feeling of fear. One moment it seeps into your mind, and the next thing you know, you’re in an endless cycle of worry. But here’s the beautiful truth: God has promises for your life to give you peace even in uncertainty and doubt. No matter your circumstances, you have access to freedom from your Heavenly Father.
We’re tackling fear, the future, and finding peace in today’s Bible study on Matthew 6:25-34.
