    About this ebook

    In the pages of this book, we want to explore reasons why the answer of God to us is not always right in our eyes. We will examine causes for the Lord denying the request of our hearts. In addition, we will learn how the seemingly unfavorable response of God to us in certain requests is actually a demonstration of His love, care, and concern for us. This will lead us to a greater understanding of the Fatherhood of God in the life of the believer.

      Introduction

      The Bible is full of prayers. From his earliest existence, man used prayer as a primary mode of communication with God. Prayers were made for different reasons. Prayer is an essential component to the believer’s walk with the Lord. Through prayer Christians communicate with God and receive strength. Therefore, a consistent prayer life is important.

      The Prayer Studies Series gives brief and vital information teaching Christians how to approach God in prayer. It is our prayer that you will be blessed by the materials presented.

      In this publication:

      Have you ever wanted something so much that you could almost taste or touch it? Have you ever wanted something so badly that the wait seemed like an eternity? Have you ever hoped for something greatly, only to discover that you would not receive the object of your hope?

      The Bible is full of promises given to man by God. One of those promises is that God will give us what we ask for in prayer. However, there are times when we petition God that we do not receive the request. Some may feel hurt, disappointed, angry, and disillusioned with God. Others may feel confused, wondering, Why God didn’t give me what I asked for?

      We can understand a negative response from the Lord if we are asking for carnal, selfish, and unnecessary earthly things. However, there are times when God’s response is No, when we ask for healing and deliverance from extremely difficult situations.

      In the pages of this book, we want to explore reasons why God’s answer to us is not always right in our eyes. We will examine causes for the Lord denying the request of our hearts.

      In addition, we will learn how God’s seemingly unfavorable response to us in certain requests is actually a demonstration of His love, care, and concern for us. This will lead us to a greater understanding of the Fatherhood of God in the life of the believer.
