Your presentation on the subject of unanswered prayers is very helpful especially to new believers. From your discussion, I understand that to truly believe in the Lord is to humbly place complete faith, confidence or trust in Him and His words. This is truly pleasing to God (Isa 66:1-2). If this is not done, the evil one can easily prod believers, especially the new ones to question God or even blame Him whenever their well-intentioned prayers are not answered or when unpleasant things happen in their midst. As we know, the evil one always wants us to doubt God's word, His love, His mercy, and His authority. This was illustrated in Job 1:6-12; Jer 12:1-4; and Malachi 3:13-15. But the Lord Jesus showed us the way to ward off the devil's scheme of instilling in us "the boastful pride of life" (Mt 4:5-11; 1 Jn 2:15). Based on the Lord's teachings in the New Testament Bible, I understand that the Lord Jesus desires that His believers become humble, faithful and obedient servants for God's glory!
