Why didn't God answer my prayers?

Scripture: about16: 24; Deuteronomy 3: 23-26; It's Deuteronomy 3:23. At that time, I implored the Lord and said, 3:24? God, you have shown your power to your servant. In heaven and on earth, what god can do like you and your power? Please let me go over and see the beautiful land, the beautiful mountains and Lebanon on the other side of the Jordan River. ? But the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he did not listen to me and said to me, Enough! Don't mention it to me again. ? There are too many teachings about believers' prayer in the Bible that God can't hear, which is enough to strengthen our faith in prayer. For example, pray and you will get it; Seek and you will find; Knock and I'll open the door for you. (Matt 7: 7) Which of you has a son who asks for bread and gives him a stone? Ask for fish and give him a snake? Although you are not good, you know how to give good things to children. How much more will your father in heaven give good things to those who ask him? (Matt. 7: 9- 1 1) There are many such sufferings in the Bible, and many brothers and sisters are also very familiar with them. However, on the road of spiritual practice, many believers are very confused, and their prayers (telling God what they want) are often not answered by God. In this regard, someone may immediately comment: then he must have asked for it! Because Jacob said that if you ask, you won't get it, because you ask in vain. (James 4: 2-3) However, there is no demand. Then, some preachers will find various reasons from the people who pray to solve the tension between what they want and the actual situation encountered by Christians in their lives. Naturally, the prayer mood has a very important relationship with the effect of prayer, and the Bible also gives us a lot of enlightenment in this respect (for example, about15: 7; John 3: 22; 2 Peter 3: 7,12; John 5:14-15; Lai11:6; ya 1:6； Psalm 66:18; It can be11:2526; pro 28:9； 2 1: 13; 15: 29, etc. But the question is, assuming that there is no reason for the praying person not to listen to his prayers in these areas, does it mean that God must give whatever he asks of God? In fact, we can also find many facts from the Bible, and the answer is no! There is a good principle in interpreting the Bible: let the whole Bible speak for itself. That is, using the principle of wholeness of the whole Bible to explain some Bible verses. If you grasp the whole idea of God's revelation, you will grasp the truth, and there will be no big deviation in solving the step-by-step problem. There are several scriptures about prayer answers mentioned above, some of which cannot be understood literally. For example, if you say to this mountain, move to the sea (it can be 1 1: 23-24). Obviously, this is to emphasize the power of faith. But we can see that no one has ever prayed like this in history, even Paul and Peter have never prayed like this. Moreover, these promises are not isolated and absolute, and they can only be understood correctly if they are read in conjunction with other scriptures. 1. God refused to answer our prayers. Out of his nature, a believer once replied: Prayer is like typing a report. After praying, he said that giving a name represents him as a whole, including his status, authority, nature and status. Praying for the Lord's name has two meanings: one is to rely on the merits of the Lord. Without the blood of Jesus, there would be no possibility of reconciliation between us human beings and God, and there would be no right to pray to God the Father. This should not be difficult to understand. In the name of the Lord, we should not only speak verbally, but also glorify the Lord Christ from the heart. 3: 15), that is, with the heart of Jesus Christ, all our prayers should not go against the nature of God. For example, God is a righteous God, and justice and fairness are the foundation of his throne (Psalm 97: 2)! All prayers that do not conform to his righteous attributes will not be answered. On the contrary, prayers that conform to God's righteousness will be heard. When Abraham prayed for Sodom, from fifty to ten people, he changed it five times, as if he dared to bargain with God. Because he grasped the attribute of God's righteousness, he prayed that it was absolutely not you who destroyed the wicked and served others with virtue. Is it not fair to judge the Lord of all the earth? (Genesis 18: 25) God is a holy god, and God says that he should be holy among those who are close to me (Leviticus. 10: 3)! All words and deeds that don't respect him are displeasure to him. When Moses, the man of God, almost begged God to enter Canaan, God refused his prayer: Don't mention this to me again! (Deuteronomy 3: 26) God is a loving God. The poet said: The eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him and those who hope for his love. (Ps。 33: 18) Lord, please show us your kindness according to our hope for you. (Psalm 33: 22) When Elijah prayed under the vine, he said, Lord, that's enough. Please take my life, because I am not superior to my ancestors (see 1 Kings 19: 3-4). Did God listen? Instead of giving him death, God gave him strength and sent crows to give bread to widows. I still have strength after running for forty days. Will a dying man run for forty days? This is entirely out of God's love and mercy. He is very considerate of his servant's temporary weakness. He is like a loving father who doesn't care about the children's emotions. God's loving hands wake him up, encourage him with gentle voice and cheer him up again! Sometimes God doesn't respond to our requests, not because he doesn't love us. On the contrary, it is because of his rich love that he can't answer our short-sighted and almost ignorant prayers. It seems that a loving mother will never agree to a playful child's request to play with a kitchen knife. God refused to answer our prayers. Because of his lofty will, God once predicted by telling us: My thoughts are different from yours, and my path is different from yours. (Is 55: 8) God's thoughts are profound, and his vision is long-term. He is by no means shallow or shortsighted. Therefore, when our limited number of people cry to the infinite God, because we can't understand God's mind and will, the Holy Spirit always prays for us with unspeakable sighs to make up for and correct the deficiencies in our prayers. Nevertheless, believers still don't understand and care enough about the meaning of the Holy Spirit, which leads to a lot of rational confusion and belief anxiety. Yue Se, jealous of his brother, was left in a pit, sold by Midian merchants, became a slave, defiled by Potiphar's wife, became a prisoner, and was forgotten by the chief cupbearer. During this period, every stage was soaked with the tears of Yue Se's prayer. We can believe that God-fearing people in Yue Se yearn for God all the time. However, it seems that the heaven is silent and the earth is silent, and Yue Se's prayers are not answered at all. Does Yue Se make sense? Why is fate so tragic? Why has God been silent for a long time? Who would know that life is dramatic? Who could have guessed that God would change history? As a prime minister, Yue Se did not have the arrogance of turning defeat into victory or the resentment of revenge when he met his trembling brother. On the contrary, he had the foresight to see that in the past, you meant to hurt me, but God was kind, saved many lives and achieved today's situation (Gen. 50: 20). A person who can always see the meaning of others is great, but if a person can see the meaning of God in a complicated world, he must be called a spiritual person. God didn't answer our prayers. Because of his rich grace, Paul is a servant of God. He has rich theological attainments and spiritual talents. His mental ability is impressive, that is, his silk scarf can be used to treat diseases. However, when Paul prayed for a thorn in his body three times, God did not help him get rid of it immediately. He said: My grace is enough for you (2 Cor. 12: 7-9). Paul is human, too. Anyone who has a physical nature, that is, the nature of the elderly, may be arrogant. Especially someone like him who has all the spiritual gifts and has made a decisive contribution to the church. And the function of this thorn is to prevent you from being too arrogant! Therefore, although this thorn is Satan's servant, it is God's permission. God turned the enemy's attack into an important opportunity to cultivate and protect God's servants and girls. This is enough for him. God's grace may not make Paul's body more comfortable, his eyes brighter, or his enemies more polite to him But it will use Paul's life to be more humble, hidden and complete. It is precisely because Paul suffers from illness and pain that he often gets help from Luke, the doctor who accompanied him. He often realizes that all his medical talents are the result of the work of the Holy Spirit, and there is nothing to boast about! It is because Paul's eyes are not very good that he cherishes the work of his colleagues (such as Deu who writes for him), and thus learns the lessons of cooperation and mutual humility! Because there are always some people who attack Paul, Paul is always cautious about himself and the whole group, so that he can cut off the opportunities of those who seek opportunities (2 Cor. 1 1: 12). God didn't answer Paul's three prayers to ask the Lord to remove the thorn from his body, but in fact, the thorn on Paul's body was like a needle on a record in an old record player, which made Paul's life play a beautiful movement. There is grace in the thorn, and grace is enough! In fact, God will not refuse to give us benefits at any time. Even if he doesn't agree with our request, he still hides his good intentions and lets us live his life better. Let us learn to respect God's sovereignty and change ourselves in prayer!
