It’s often in the “unanswered” prayers of our life where God begins to do a deeper work in us. We learn to trust. We learn about God’s goodness and sovereignty in our lives. And we also learn to allow a deeper examination into our own hearts and motives. This issue of Prayer Connect, “God’s Better Way: The Benefits of Unanswered Prayer” examines the ways that God intends for us to prosper and grow when He doesn’t respond as we had hoped.
