prayer

Why do prayers go unanswered?

How do we reconcile the relationship of how prayers are answered and God seems silent at others?

This and more questions concerning prayer will be discussed this Sunday at Tabernacle UMC. Join us.

Something to think about this week in preparing your heart....

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”

World War II Admiral, Chester Nimitz
