All of us want God to work powerfully in and through our lives. This is one of the primary reasons that we pray and seek to obey God’s Word. But the fact is, we don’t always see God do what we want or receive what we have asked Him for through our prayers. Have you ever wondered why? We all have! While we cannot answer “why” for every circumstance, I think it’s important to ask if our faith has something to do with it. Some people might say “your faith has nothing to do with God’s response to you!” Is that true? Is that really what the Bible teaches? Does our faith or lack of faith play a role in God responding to us? That is the question we will explore today by looking at two very important passages of Scripture.
