Unanswered Prayers...Praising Him still.

 Some days on this journey are tougher than others.  Jesus never promised me the Wonder Struck life would always be a bed of roses.  There is a bump in the road called Unanswered Prayers.  Prayers that God at this point in the journey has chosen not to answer.  Prayers that come from deep within me and cause tears to flow freely from my face.  However, He currently says no.

Some days in the Wonder Struck journey God can seem distant, uninterested, and quiet.  However, it's in these moments that I call on Him even more because He cares.  He knows where my heart is and the desires of my heart.  He knows what is best for me.  He's my Father and I just have to trust Him.  Unanswered prayers are sometimes the hardest but some of the most sweet times because it's in the quiet where I hear Him speak the most.

So today, in my Wonder Struck Journey, I'm praising Him still even for Unanswered Prayers.  WHy?  Because He's my ROck, My Comforter, My Savior, and My friend who still sticks closer than a brother. His promises never fail and all that stuff in His Word, you can take it to the bank...the maps included!

If you think about it today, would you mind lifting me in prayer?  It's an unspoken request.  I could use some encouragement today.  I'm not gonna lie.  I may not feel so Wonder Struck today but I know that He's enough...Answered or Unanswered prayers.

Prayerful,
Alicia Roark
