Keep Praying Even When God Seems Silent

Lord, what can I do when I feel disconnected from you?

Rejoice in your confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

Romans 12:12; James 5:16

Lord, I’ve prayed for something for a long time. What if I never receive an answer?

Why are you afraid? You have so little faith! It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that I would keep my promise. Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.

Matthew 8:26; Hebrews 11:11; Matthew 7:7; 2 Corinthians 12:9

What can I pray when I am tempted to give up praying?

LORD, I am confident I will see your goodness. I will wait patiently for you. I will be brave and courageous. Yes, I will wait patiently for you, LORD.

Psalm 27:13-14

Steadfastness is a spiritual discipline that involves learning to endure patiently in your faith. Seasons of unanswered prayer can make you feel anything but steady or patient. Do you have prayers that still remain unanswered? Sometimes God chooses to answer prayers in unexpected ways. He promises to always answer them, though sometimes his answer is no. Choose to remain steadfast in your prayers. Keep praying!
