PRAYERS NOT ANSWERED 5: EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Prayers Not Answered
Matthew 7:11
“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”
a) This verse tells us that God is ready to answer our prayers and supply our needs. So why are all our prayers not answered? Why does it seem that God sometimes does not hear us? What is going on when it seems like our prayers are not getting any higher than the ceiling?

2. Expect The Unexpected
a) God sees the big picture; we only see a small portion of that picture. We could actually be praying for something that would be harmful for us to get. It should be seen as encouraging when God does not answer our prayers exactly as we want, in the time frame we expect. This shows us that He is still in control and sovereign overrides our expectations with His perfect will.
