Why does prayer go unanswered (part 2 of 2)
Margaret Hall - Sunday 28 Jun 2009
There are two assumptions to avoid when prayer seems to go unanswered. The first, to which children are especially vulnerable, is that God isn’t there, or doesn’t care. One thing about prayer is for sure: a request can never be a command. When we ask anyone for anything, they’re always free to either give us what we want, or not. If God’s bound to grant every request, he becomes a god we control or manipulate -- in other words, not God at all.
Live by faith, not by sight

I was recently listening to talk back radio and I was a bit surprised to hear the topic for discussion. Normally the discussion is filled with politics or whatever is the hot item on the news. No the topic for discussion that day was rather unusual. It was a subject that is not normally discussed in polite company. Sure it affects almost everyone- in fact it does affect everyone. But it is topic we somehow tend to ignore or deliberately don’t talk about. The subject of the topic, that day was death!
