The Truth About “Unanswered” Prayers

We’ve all been there—praying for something and feeling like God is silent. But what if I told you that every prayer is heard and answered in one of three ways? Yes, yes but not now, or no because He has something better.

Prayer: A Relationship, Not a Transaction
Prayer isn’t a vending machine where we put in requests and get instant results. It’s a relationship. It’s about trust, surrender, and allowing God to shape us in His time and way.

The Strength in Surrender
Surrendering our desires to God doesn’t mean we stop praying for them—it means we trust Him with the outcome. One of my favorite prayers, the Surrender Novena, reminds me daily that Jesus is working, even when I don’t see it.

Final Encouragement
If you’re in a waiting season, hold on. Keep praying. Keep trusting. And remember, no prayer ever goes unheard.
