Why do some prayers seem unanswered if God can do anything?
Answered in 1 source
Unanswered prayers may reflect God's sovereign will or timing rather than His inability to act.
When prayers appear unanswered, it's critical to recognize that it may not be due to God's incapacity but rather His sovereign will or perfect timing. As discussed in the sermon, there are instances when God has a greater plan that may differ from our immediate desires. The Apostle Paul experienced God's 'no' regarding his thorn in the flesh, which serves as a reminder that God may grant us strength through our trials instead of removing them. Trusting in God's may help believers find peace, knowing He operates on a timeline and purpose beyond our understanding.
