I know there are precedents in the bible where many have suaded God to rethink his actions but ...<br /><br />I have historically always appeased unanswered prayers by rationalizing that its not God's plan. Am not sure if its the right way to think about it. <br /><br />Hypothetically, say a person is bounded by an addiction of some sought and wishes to be set free. Do you see any possible reason why God will not immediately do so if asked? I instantaneously think of Job ... but its hard to have that perspective from our abstraction level.Benetyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03859936820789369575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1487102809586070542.post-54623276039666934732010-08-25T11:27:36.319-04:002010-08-25T11:27:36.319-04:00I was going out the door, headed for court this mo...I was going out the door, headed for court this morning, and I stopped and said to myself: I am going to pray for God to help me!<br /><br />Immediately, I thought, He has already done much for me: I woke up this morning and am in possession of my faculties!<br /><br />Indeed, sometimes I catch myself thinking: so many are the time I "bother" God asking for that which He will give me if it be right, anyway! And He does, and He has, ALWAYS, even when I was not aware of it!<br /><br />I have learned through the years that should I be walking right with Him, I need fear nothing! And I don't, for I have Him as my confidant!<br /><br />Well, I won in court! Came out much further ahead than I expected!<br /><br />One more time He shows me how not to worry, for He will take care of me if I but put my trust in Him! Praise God, I do!<br /><br /><br />Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
