PRAYERS “UNANSWERED”

Let me take you down memory lane

To that moment when you felt deserted

Betrayed and left to dry out in the sun

Then helplessness and broken-heartedness set in

Even frustration at times

But then… just then, at that particular moment

Something out of the blue happens; the unexpected occurs

A light appears at the end of the tunnel

Then hope floods in and your face lightens up

Relief emanates

There! That moment, captivating… when you even lose track of time

When time is of no relevance

A moment so miraculous, so joyous

Yes! That moment; the real miracle

Yet in the throes of excitement, it is easily overlooked

Due to its brief term of office

So brief that it seemed it never happened

Deep down within, it is what you have sought after

And you know it… Oh! How you know it

Yet, it was so unexpected to you, making your prayers seem unanswered

Your whole world brightens afterwards and yet you do not see what the LORD has done

What excuse then do you have to doubt the God who answers prayers?

Give Christ all the praise, for your unanswered prayers were actually answered ones
