And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. —Matthew 21:22
Unanswered Prayers -Madeleine L’Engle
What happens to all my prayers - those that are not answered, and those that seem to make things worse than anyone ever anticipated? Surely they are still sustaining me. Perhaps there will be unexpected answers to them, answers I may not even be aware of for years. I cannot believe they are wasted or lost. I do not know where they have gone, but I believe God holds them, hand outstretched to receive them like precious pearls.
Hi Madeleine
Your unanswered prayers are waiting for you behind a locked door. It’s rather like inviting someone in and leaving the door bolted. Maybe, even though you invited someone in, you didn’t really want them in. When you truly want something, without reservation, and you are grateful in anticipation, the door will open and your dreams will enter
