Sermon: 1550 When Prayer Seems Unanswered
Pray Over This
“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
Ponder This
For the last several years, I have been praying, "Oh God, hear my prayer, God hear my prayer." I've stained Heaven with my prayer. But God said to me some while back, "Adrian, I've heard your prayer. I know what you're asking for and I'm going to answer your prayer, not the way you think, but more wonderful than you think." What a peace that was to my heart.
All of us are there sometimes. We pray, “God, I think it's this” or “I think it's that” or sometimes, “Lord, I don't know.” When we don’t know how to pray, the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. Thank God we are asking for one thing, and God's Holy Spirit says, “Now Father, there's Adrian. He's down there asking for something. He's sincere. This is what he thinks he wants, but God, this is what he needs.”
You don’t have to have your prayer well-worded; the Lord hears your heart. He will provide what you need even when you don’t know how to express it.
- When have you been at a loss for words? How does it feel to know you can approach God even when you feel that way?
- What are some prayers you need to entrust to God? How have you tried to handle things on your own?
Practice This
Surrender to God the confusing situations you have tried to figure out on your own.
