It Isn't The Prayer Answer You Get

Pastor's Web Site Find The Power


Someone passed away who was on my prayer list. For a few moments I wondered why my praying for healing didn't work. However, an answer came to me. The was, in essence, it isn't always the answer you get from your praying that is most important. What God sees as most important is your exercise in faith, in love, in going to Him because you are a frail fallible human being. God loves the person in need crying out to Him. Tonight, God gained and the departed loved ones lost. In our hope for eternal life, God's gain is always the maximum gain. Our loss is only temporary.


May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord place His healing hands upon you to give you comfort and peace.

  1. Some 8 to 9 years ago my sister who was always battling some physical and/or psychological disease passed away. I had written a poem for God to ease her of her pain and bring her home and she passed away. Yes, God had answered by prayers. He did ease her pain and bring her home, although it was not the way I had hoped it would be, it was what was best for her. She finished her "mission" and had enough pain and it was time to go "home".
