"In the Dark"

11/3/2013

The recent hit movie Gravity starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney does an excellent job of showing the feeling of near-helplessness the orbiting astronauts experience when they lose radio communication with their Houston base.  Cut off from their source of hope, the astronauts send transmissions “in the dark” – not knowing whether they are being heard or not. 

At one time or another all Christians have experienced the feeling of unanswered prayer and the suspicion that they are not being heard.  Fortunately for us, the Bible gives some very clear instruction on why prayer is sometimes not answered – and what we can do about it.

This week’s new article “When Prayer is Unanswered”  looks directly at the question of why our prayers sometimes seem to be unheard.  The good news is that even if we feel cut off  and we just don’t seem to be “getting through”, there are things we can do to change that - we don’t need to stay “in the dark”.

This article is very helpful. The example of Jehoshaphat makes me realize we need to let God work out our problems His way.
