God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
Is rejecting our prayers
also an answer to our prayers?
Moses was more humble
than anyone else on earth
(Numbers 12:3).
He was a faithful
servant in God's house.
Therefore, when God
spoke to him, He spoke directly and clearly, not in riddles.
Moses even saw the form
of the Lord (vv. 7-8).
Yet, when Moses pleaded
with God, saying,
"Let me go over and
see the good land beyond the Jordan—
that fine hill country
and Lebanon," God responded,
"That is enough! Do not speak to me anymore about this
matter"
(Deuteronomy 3:25-26).
This was because Moses
did not trust in God
and rebelled against His
command at Meribah,
failing to uphold God's
holiness before the Israelites
(Numbers 20:12, 24).
Reflecting on this, I
feel that when God refuses our prayers,
it can also be
considered an answer to our prayers.
When our prayers are
denied, instead of insisting on them before God,
it is more beneficial to
take time for self-examination and introspection.
