Finding Assurance
“You’ve prayed for years…We all have prayers that seemingly go unanswered, and sometimes we wonder, Is the Lord even listening?
Yes, the Lord is listening. But His timing and plan are not always the same as your own. It is a difficult truth to accept, especially when you’re praying for something with eternal consequences. How, then, do you rest in the Lord?
There are no easy answers, but remember this truth: the same Jesus who gave His life for you, the same God who sent His Son to die for you, the same Holy Spirit Who intercedes for you—heard your prayers. If God’s love is so vast, deep, and wide, surely His plans for you are also good. Find rest in that love and in all that it promises.
It’ so hard when prayers seem to go unanswered, Father. Help me trust in Your love and Your plan.” (Rest)
