Are unanswered prayers God’s greatest gift to us?
By Tim Angles | 3/26/2020

Several years ago an American country singer released a song that became very popular called “Unanswered Prayers”.

The song is about a guy who goes to his class reunion and runs into his ex-girlfriend and remembers praying that this girl would be his wife and they would live happily ever after.

After considering his present wife, the man realizes that God’s answer to his teenage prayer wasn’t “No, I don’t care about you”, but “No, I have something better in mind for you”.

The bible is filled with examples of how God redirects people because He has a better plan for them than the current path they are on.

One great example of this is found in Acts 16

Paul and Silas were traveling from town to town telling people about Jesus.

They came to a town and it soon became clear to them that God wanted them to go in a different direction.  GOD CHANGED THEIR PLANS.

Whatever you’re praying for today, keep in mind that if God is not giving you the answer you hoped for, God has a better plan for you!

Who knows?  Someday in the future you might join in singing “some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers”.
