I have had some people ask me why their prayers are not answered. I have some thoughts on the topic, and I trust that this teaching will give you something to ponder this week.



Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

—Matthew 7:7-8

A Soldier’s Prayer
God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of all conflicts. Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give us the victory, Lord!

Abraham Lincoln on Prayer:
I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.

Sign in front of church:
Our church is prayer-conditioned.


Prayer:
He stands best who kneels most;
he stands strongest who kneels weakest;
he stands longest who kneels lowest;
Bent knees means strong backs.


Prayers can’t be answered unless they are prayed.
