Granger, for the ones who get it done. But what do we do? When God says no. What do we do when we pray in the name of Jesus? And God says no. How do you keep your faith in God? When God says no. And your questions are not answered. We need something in our lives. And we ask God for that. We ask Him for some help. We ask Him for some answer. We ask Him for some miracle. And what happens? Nothing. And when it doesn't happen, when God doesn't say anything or when God says no, we end up in two conclusions. I think this is where a lot of people leave the faith. I think this can change your life if you grasp this. Here, we leave with one of two conclusions. Conclusion number one, prayer doesn't work. God's not really there. He's not really listening. He doesn't exist. Or two, and this might be even a worse conclusion than the first. He exists. He's real. But he wouldn't do what I needed so he can't be good. God answers every single prayer. Now, He doesn't answer them the way you like it every time. But it's an answer. No is an answer. Wait is an answer. In my way is an answer. God never leaves a prayer unanswered. Every prayer is answered. Just on and on every prayer God says yes to. In other words, why does God sometimes say yes? And why does God sometimes say no? God says no when He has a bigger perspective. God says no when He has a bigger perspective. He can see what you can't see. God sees the whole picture. We don't. We have a limited perspective. God sees the wider view. We don't. God can see the future. You can't. God will always see stuff you can't see. He can see around the curve. He can see it 10 years in the future. He can see the implications of every decision. If you could see your life. The way God does. Would you prayer? Would your prayers be different? Yep. I don't know what God's will is for you. But I know three things about with the Lucky Land Sluts.

God wants for you what you want for yourself. If you had enough sense to want it. Well, you say what if he wants me to do something I don't want to do. Do you think God's going to trap you? Do you think God is not a good God? When God says no, number one, trust that God does everything in goodness and love. Trust that God does everything for me in goodness and love. God does not do anything unloving. God does not do anything evil. Everything God does is always for your own good and because he loves you. I do not have to understand God's answer to my prayer to know that whatever answer it is, it's always motivated by love. It's the one who has omniscience who knows the beginning and the end and the wise and the whereabouts. When he says no, he knows that no is the wisest thing we could do. And I can tell you of all these years, whenever God has said no to me, he's been right. Listen, I don't have to, I don't have to look and doubt and figure how many times his right can tell you. He's been right every single time. Why? Because that's who he is. He's obligated by his character to give us direction and clarity for our life and to show us what to do next. When you look back, you probably, if you're true to yourself or you're honest, you'll be, you're glad that God didn't answer some of your prayers. I am. There are a lot of prayers that I'm glad God said no to. You'll know when you get older. When you look back, thank you God for not answering that one. Thank you God for not answering it. Thank you God for not doing that one. I'm gonna tell you something is radical, it's controversial, but it's true. It's not only good when God says no, it's better. When God says no to the boyfriend, it's because he got a better husband. When God says no to the promotion, it's because he got a better position. That even when he says no, what his know is really is a better, yes. God has a better. Looking for excitement, Shumba Casino is here. Play anytime, play anywhere.

Granger, for the ones who get it done. Plan, what do you mean by that? I mean that sometimes, God says, I intend to answer your prayer, just not the way that you want it answered. I'm going to say yes, but I'm not going to say yes the way you want it said yes. I have a better idea. And in His infinite wisdom, God has a better plan. Isaiah chapter 55 says this, verses 8 and 9. God says this plan of mine is not what you would work out. Neither are my thoughts the same as yours. For my ways are higher than your ways. God just has a better plan. It's not that your plan is bad, it's just that His plan is better. And so God just has plans that we know nothing. So defer to His higher plan. My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts and things. And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth. So my ways are higher than your ways. And my thoughts are higher than your thoughts. I have learned my friends that delay is not denial. Wait is an answer. God often delays His answer to us to teach us patience and build our faith. I've learned that sometimes God says yes. Sometimes God says no. Sometimes God says slow and sometimes God says you need to grow. But we know that all things work together for good. You see the problem is when we pray we don't just want what tell God what we want. We tell Him how we want it. We want it in our preferred way. And what our preferred way is always the easiest way. God I need you to get me out of debt. What's the easiest way? Win the lottery. I guarantee it. God is not going to use that way. God going to use that way because you don't grow. God doesn't want to use the easiest way to answer. He wants to use the best way and the best way that will keep you growing because God's more interested in your character than He is your comfort. Not the easiest way, but the best way. The way that grows your faith. Now the way that grows your faith listen closely. Sometimes requires.

And they say we're going to go slow until you grow. What do we do? We trust Him and we keep walking in faith and say, Lord, this isn't how I wanted it. This isn't how I planned on it. This isn't what I thought would be. But I'm going to trust you with this because here's the deal. You and I don't know why and we don't know what's next. We don't know why and we don't know what's next. But God does. And if we'll trust Him to be our shepherd, then He'll lead us and we can trust Him. Even when things don't go real well for us. Knowing that God always has your best interest heart. God, it doesn't make sense. I don't understand it. It's incredibly painful. But I know this. This is not good. What's happened to me right now? But I do know this. You are good. You are good. You're a good God and you are loving and you will never stop loving me. And even in this, your love still remains. You're not going to get a yes answer to every one of your prayers. You ought to thank God for that. Some of them, we can figure out why. Some of them, we're never going to know why until we get to heaven. But we do know this. God is a good God. He's a loving God. He has a greater perspective. He has a better plan and He has a greater purpose. With the Lucky Land Sluts, you can get lucky just about anywhere. This is your captain speaking. We've got clear runway and the weather is fine.
