It Happens To The Best Of Us

You feel frustrated, hurt and alone. You feel as though God isn't listing or didn't hear your prayer. Then the feelings of being alone take on a new meaning, because now you're thinking that maybe God doesn't love you, or maybe you're not praying the right way. You've lost your prayer faith.

Loosing Faith During Desperate Times Is Possible

It's also hard when you're in a desperate situation and you pray...then nothing happens. During times like this--it's easy to loose your faith and not pray.

All of these scenarios are possible and probably has happened to some of you.

God Knows The Entire Picture

But through it all...there are still some things to remember. First, God answers prayers in his time--not ours. Second, He also knows your situation better than you do...because He can see what's been, what is and what will be. In other words, God sees the entire picture...not just a small portion of it. Then He answers your prayer accordingly.

Which is always going to have a better outcome--than trying to solve the problem yourself. Third, there are lessons to be learned. We may not want to admit it, but sometimes we're not ready for what we're asking for. So it's okay if your prayer faith goes missing - it will always find it's way back home.

Get Back In The Saddle With Prayer

And it's okay to let God know how you feel. But don't allow yourself the luxury of feeling sorry for yourself...if your prayer isn't answered right away. Just know that it probably falls into one of the above categories.

Did you know that prayer faith is missing in the strogest of us. So don't worry if it happens to you. Just hop back on board with your faith in God and continue on your journey. Side trips will happen occasionally. Just don't linger on them.

It's Okay To Fall - You Just Have To Get Back Up

Besides, I'm sure we've all had some of our prayers answered over the years. Maybe not all of them YET! But surely some of them. That let's you know that prayers are answered, and God does hear them. It's just a matter of knowing if what you're asking for, is right for you...or is it time for what you're asking for.

So just remember, if your prayer faith goes missing - it happens. It happens to all of us, and it will probably happen to you at some point in your life. The object is to get back on the horse once you've fallen off. If you wait too long, you may loose your faith in prayer forever.

May you be blessed! And may you always prosper! Thank you and please come back!
