Why are some prayers unanswered?
We’ve all been there before—praying, asking, seeking God in prayer but feeling like our prayers go unanswered. Does God hear our prayers? What do we do when we pray for something but get different results? In this episode, Dr. J and Cameron have a conversation around this all-too-often asked question and discover that prayer is about a lot more than trying to get what we want.
02:01 — Who would win in a fight between Paul and John?
03:26 — Whatever did happen to the Ark of the Covenant?
05:30 — Where do dinosaurs fit in the timeline of the Bible?
09:17 — What does a healthy prayer life look like?
12:44 — Why does it seem like some prayers are answered immediately and others are not?
16:20 — What do we do when our prayers seem to go unanswered?
20:54 — What are some biblical examples of God answering yes, no, and not yet to prayers? What about “ask and you shall receive”?
24:43 — Why might God answer no or not yet to our prayers?
27:23 — Doesn’t God say He won’t give us more than we can handle?
30:49 — How do I find the presence of God I need to rest within?
“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.” — 2 Corinthians 1:8-10, ESV
