Frequently Asked Questions

Does God answer every prayer?

God hears every prayer from His children (1 John 5:14). He answers in three ways: yes, no, or wait. A 'no' doesn't mean God isn't listening — it means He knows something better. A 'wait' builds faith. Every prayer receives a response, even when it's not the one we expected.

Why does God sometimes say no?

God's 'no' is always an expression of love and wisdom. He sees the full picture when we see only a fragment. Paul asked three times for his 'thorn' to be removed; God's 'no' came with 'my grace is sufficient for thee' (2 Corinthians 12:9). Sometimes God's best blessings come wrapped in denied requests.
