Frequently Asked Questions

Why does God sometimes seem silent?

God's silence doesn't mean His absence. Sometimes He delays answers to build faith (like Jesus delayed going to Lazarus). Other times, the answer is 'wait' or 'not yet.' Isaiah 55:8 reminds us His ways are higher than ours. Keep praying — He hears every word.

Does God answer every prayer?

God hears every prayer from His children (Psalm 145:18). His answers come in four forms: yes, no, wait, and 'I have something better.' 1 John 5:14 clarifies that prayers aligned with His will are granted. Even 'no' answers reflect His love and wisdom.
