IS GOD NOT LISTENING?

Psalm 138:7-8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. [8] The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. [KJV] God truly loves His children. He would never leave us nor forsake us. His answer may not always be what we expect, or want, but He does hear when His children pray.

Any time God denies a request, there is a really good reason. He paints on a BIG canvas, He sees a BIG picture; not like us, seeing only what is in front of us at that particular time. We may think we didn’t have enough faith, or maybe we didn’t pray hard enough or long enough. Most likely when He doesn’t answer it is because it was not in His will to do it. It would probably be wrong for us, or cause us grief (Romans 8:28). We should not focus on us and what we want, but on God, and what He wants for us. If we leave the decision up to Him, He will always give us what is best for us.

God is so wise and all-seeing, and we with our limited capabilities cannot possibly read God’s mind. We cannot possibly understand His incomprehensible heart. All we can see is His refusal to answer us. But, has He refused to answer? God answers prayer in three ways:

1. YES, 2. NO, 3. WAIT A WHILE. When we go to God in prayer, we expect a yes answer. If He does not answer yes, we think He has not heard us or He has refused to answer us.

One thing to remember when going to God in prayer; we must confess our sins (1 John 1:8-9). If you do not get rid of that wall of sin standing between God and you, God will not answer because He will not hear your prayer. God cannot look on sin. He even turned His back on His Son when He hung on the cross because of OUR sin (Matthew 27:46).

John 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. [KJV]

Isaiah 58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; [KJV]

Isaiah 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. You do not have to commit murder to have your hands "full of blood."

1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. [KJV]

Deuteronomy 31:18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. All verses [KJV]. God hears and answers His children, but sin must go and our hearts must be right with Him.
