Barry Black Sermon - When God Says Nothing (Unanswered Prayers)

http://www.adventistsermons.blogspot.... In this video Dr Barry C Black Chaplain of the United States Senate preaches on prayers that we apparently think God is not answering. Jesus never referred to unanswered prayers. He said God always answers prayers if they are offered in His name, and according to His will and nature. He said: “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). Oswald Chambers remarked that we can always tell whether our will is in what we ask by the way we live when we are not praying.2 Jesus said not to use vain repetitions as the heathen do, who think they will be heard because of the sheer volume or emotion of their words. It’s never our earnestness that brings us in touch with God, but our confidence to enter the presence of God by the blood of Jesus (cf. Heb. 10:19). Prayer nourishes the life of God in us. Ellen White wrote: “Daily prayer is as essential to growth in grace, and even to spiritual life itself, as is temporal food to physical well-being.”3 Jesus’ life was nourished with prayer. Instead of praying as a means of getting things for ourselves, we should pray as Jesus did. When we don’t pray persistently, His indwelling presence becomes weak and we falter at temptation.
