30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 10

What about those prayers God doesn’t answer? Our Father is all knowing, He sees things in the unseen realm that we can’t see, He answers with our best interest in mind. Sometimes we ask selfishly. Others we ask from our heart, but it’s still not what’s best for us OR it’s not in line with God’s will. Looking back, I’m so thankful for many of the prayers He didn’t answer. He saved me from myself. On day 10, I am thankful for those prayers that God didn’t answer. He could have given me my hearts desire, but chose to protect me. There were other times He allowed me to be broken and grow from my bad decisions so I know a “no” was truly for my protection. Don’t see a no as a bad thing, it could be just a delay or it could be your Father looking out for His child with that no. 💛 ~ Chelle, #f8ithgal #11.10.18

“14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” ~ 1 John 5:14-15
