Discuss why the statement, “God always answers prayer ‘yes, no, or wait’” is inadequate to address the challenge of unanswered prayer in our lives.

We don’t know what God is doing in answer to prayer, and we have to keep pressing in and praying with faith. The answer is probably not “wait” but rather “you need to pray about this more!”

In one sense it is true, but it is also superficial. We don’t have God’s perspective, and may interpret a “no” or “wait” differently from why God answered the way He did.

Because Jesus like us was human…he understands our suffering and if he suffered then we too will suffer…God sometimes says yes to prayer and sometimes no and sometimes wait but that is not adequate as He always has his reasons and we may never understand them but it is not for us to understand but to trust Him knowing that in all things we will have an eternal home in the end. Amen

Yes , no or wait is adequate because God already knows the beginning and the end. You have to trust that God knows what is best for you.

Sometimes we do know what the answer is, but we are always to keep our faith. God knows what He is doing. We must trust that.
