Summary

Welcome to Replay Wednesday, where you'll hear the most popular episodes from previous seasons. This week's episode, "Did God Answer Your Prayer?" was downloaded thousands of times. Many people wonder why God supposedly "didn't answer," but is that accurate? If the answer to our prayers is according to God's will, things may turn out differently than how we prayed. If we really mean it when we pray, "Thy will be done," then we must accept that God's will may or may not match our prayer request. "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."

0:00.0	Welcome to Replay Wednesday, where you'll hear the most popular episodes from previous seasons.
0:06.4	This week's episode, Did God Answer Your Prayer? Had thousands of downloads in a very short period of time.
0:14.4	I know that I'm not the only one that has wondered about that. When I prayed during the time my husband was battling two forms of cancer,
0:23.0	I was praying for healing. I'm sure many of you have had that same prayer request for loved ones
0:29.5	in your lives as well. It took me a while to realize that God answered my prayer, but he answered it
0:35.5	differently than the way I was praying it. Healing in my mind meant
0:40.2	let him heal and be here. Healing according to God's plan was Norman would be permanently healed by going to
0:47.2	heaven. If you've ever wondered, did God answer your prayers? This episode is for you.
0:55.2	Let's listen.
0:59.9	Have you ever had a question run through your mind after a tough time?
1:02.9	Why didn't God answer my prayer?
1:08.8	It's not uncommon to think like this, but underneath that question is another question. Did God fail to answer your prayer, or did he answer it differently
1:13.2	than you requested it? Thank you for joining Keep the Heart for today's podcast with

1:29.6	Sharing lessons from the Word of God is her passion. Now, back to today's important study.
1:39.2	We may be praying more than ever, but are we praying with a right spirit? A spirit of fear is not from God,
1:47.9	so that would not be a right spirit. We need to remember that God is never rattled by events and
1:53.7	nothing surprises him. We react that way, but God does not. How can we shift our thinking from
2:00.7	fearful to trusting? Let's study that
2:03.9	together. Let's look at five ways that we can clear up our thinking about prayer and hopefully
