"My prayers returned to me unanswered." Psalm 35:13 NIV
MISDERECTED PRAYERS. Some folks turn the blessing at meal time into a public airing of their frustrations.Others bounce their prayers off God, hoping to hit the person across the table - the one they're trying to win to Christ. Don't do that. God gets enough bad press without you adding to it! Jesus said, " When you come before God, don't turn that into a theatrical production. Judge mental prayers. In one church a childless couple was praying for a baby. The prayer group decided the husband wasn't "godly" enough to be a father, so they spent their time asking God to change him. If God gave children only to perfect parents, the human race would be extinct! The bible says we make this plea, not because we deserve help, but because of your mercy"
