Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
~ Luke 22:42 KJV
Have you ever been upset with God when you felt He didn't answer your prayers? How about when He didn't answer them the way you wanted Him to? Or maybe even when He answered them with "No."? I'm sure we've all been guilty of that at one time or another.
As I read my Bible one morning and contemplated unanswered prayers, God reminded me that Jesus prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me."
We all know that Jesus went through crucifixion on the cross and that means God answered His prayer with "No." This really struck me! Because of Jesus' prayer not being answered with a "yes," I have been redeemed!!
God seen the bigger picture when He said, "No." God truly does have our best interests in mind when He sometimes answers our prayers with "no." We just have to wait to see the bigger picture.
