I tell you the truth and I heard this from a pastor. Answered prayers strengthen faith and it encourages more prayer.
On the flip side, unanswered prayers cause many to doubt and lose faith, because waiting on the Lord isn't easy.
However, the answer is to continue praying for a breakthrough. Sometimes I just pray that God give me a sign when I'm dealing with troubles.
Teach me oh Lord, teach me truth, thank you. I trust one day if not today, I will see through it, the confusion of people (Me)
This I heard, you have many problems all at one time, as you are trying to settle one, another one comes in, right? (A Job maybe)
I heard, take one problem at a time, work on that one, in trust to me God Father of risen Son for you. Until it is settled in you. Then let's go to the next one. Oh and start at the most important one first. Putting past behind you, and moving forward in the present (Phil 3:12-15)(Life give you) whether it be evil or good presently. Stand in trust, I God will get you through this, and when I say no, whether or not you hear that, if you continue in asking for what is not good for you, then I God will let you go through that, for you to find out it is not good for you. Then in agreement, you will leave it behind you freely, thank you.
When my eldest brother past away here on earth. before that happened, he said to me ( all this drinking, I was doing is not good for me) then I heard he passed away. I was 21 then, he was 31, He died on Campus Crusade For Life in 1978. Those words he said to me, "It it not good for me" took effect 6 to seven years later. 67 now. God is the key that got me to see freely and left me to choose, not ever said (as religion says) I had to. Matter of fact I chose to, at no pride left in doing that. I trust God. Then the next for me was smoking, then the next for me Lusts of here in this world, not that I got it completely, I don't but God does, and so I thank God daily in this gift, I need God 24/7
I went Jacobs ladder as far up as I could ever get, never reaching the top. Then crying out to God who reached down and set me in his love and mercy for me and all others also. Therefore, I Continue there and whoever continues to grow up new in love and mercy given them will see Hebrews 5:12-Chapter 6 and grow up
Will see the section verses of 1 Cor 13:1-3, 4-7, 8-12-13
God imputes God's love in us the people that do not quit belief to God is my experience, seeing Psalm 100:4, 103:12, Ezekiel 36:26
