Unanswered prayer

God gives us one of three answers:
1. Yes.
2. No.
3. Wait.

The unanswered prayer is the one not prayed for. This is not to say that God is not at work, with or without our prayers; for He will not only fullfill His work in us (psalm 138:8) but has already won the war (Romans 8:37). However, God says to call unto Him and He will answer and show us great and mighty things which we don't know (Jeremiah 33:3).

Have you been longing, waiting, even expecting for God to move in a certain area? Maybe you want to see a "generation that seeks His face" like the song "Give us clean hands" mentions. Maybe you want to see many have saving faith in Jesus Christ, or maybe its just one person, a friend, a father, a mother, a child. Whatever it is, God knows your longing yet He longs to hear you and show you.

1 Thessalonians 5:17: pray without ceasing

Luke 18:1-8: 1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ 4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’” 6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
