Unanswered Prayers

Unanswered Prayers

“We pray for blessings

We pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

All the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things


Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights 
Are what it takes to know You’re near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise


We pray for wisdom

Your voice to hear

And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near

We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love

As if every promise from Your Word is not enough

All the while, You hear each desperate plea

And long that we'd have faith to believe


Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights 
Are what it takes to know You’re near

And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise


When friends betray us

When darkness seems to win

We know the pain reminds this heart

That this is not, this is not our home

It's not our home


Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

And what if a thousand sleepless nights

Are what it takes to know You’re near

What if my greatest disappointments

Or the aching's of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy

And what if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are Your mercies in disguise”
This song really doesn’t have meaning until you experience something HARD.  We pray, God listens. This is something we need to know and believe. He hears our prayers. Whether he answers right away or we have to wait to see God’s overall plan unravel. He does have a plan.
Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.”
This song and verse assure God will deliver us from our struggles and use our struggles to make us stronger. He uses these times to draw us nearer to Him. 
Here are four things to remember when you are in the hard times. 

1.      Know that God is answering your prayers.
2.     Believe God has a bigger plan than you could dream. 
3.     KEEP praying. You'll draw nearer to Him through prayer. 
4.     Praise Him in the Hard times. 
5.     Remember God is going to use your experience to encourage others. 

Don't give up on God. God has not given up on you. He hasn't forgotten your needs or prayers. He hears every word you say, every thought you think, and knows every need/desire in your heart. He knows you better than you know yourself. THAT is comforting.
