One of the most difficult aspects of building a dynamic prayer life is how to handle unanswered prayers or prayers that may be answered in ways we didn’t want or expect. In the grand scheme of things there is no way we can see all things, know all things, or understand all things. What may seem perfectly good to us as we ask could very well bring us harm down the road. In this episode we’ll talk through some reasons behind unanswered prayers and how to cope with them.
