When we pray to God, we want him to answer our prayers straight away, and when he doesn't, or we feel he's not heard us, that can be really difficult. The Bible is honest about it - the Psalms, the song-book of the Bible, are often deep laments or cries over the struggles of life. Jesus himself experienced this.
This week, we were challenged to think about God's silence being different to his absence, and that perhaps he's trying to grow and mature our faith at times, even if we'd rather he didn't. Instead of asking "why?", try asking "where are you in this situation Lord?" and see how he responds.
On Tuesday evenings, our Life Group has been talking these questions through and learning to pray more effectively. Why not get in touch to find out more, we'd love to hear from you.
