If you believe in Jesus Christ and you dedicate your life to Him, you have to begin to learn to trust Him, no matter what happens. This is especially true when your heartfelt prayer of petition is, at times, ineffectual. What was wrong with my prayer to heal this good woman who has now died? Why won’t my daughter find her place in life? Why is my life’s partner taking drugs?
You pray for what you think are the right things, and the exact opposite happens. The person you prayed for dies. Your husband will not face substance abuse in his life. It’s killing him. You pray and he continues his death plummet.
Through it all, you, the Christian trust that the One who loves you will somehow work it all out. You have seen Him work in your life and his footsteps are beside yours always. Trust deepens for the journeyman Christian.
