A few days ago I got an email from a reader asking a question I think most of us ponder.
Does god answer prayer? I have prayed and prayed for loved ones and they have died and gone to He** without knowing Jesus. How can I keep on believing knowing where they are?
As I have explained many times, I am NOT a Biblical scholar. Yes, I have read the Bible cover to cover several times, but I am not a scholar. But I pray and do my best.
My answer was this:
I believe that God does answer prayer, just not always in the ways we expect or in the ways we understand at the moment.
You bring up a tough point, one that I wonder about quite often, to be honest.
But I still just have to have faith that HIS will will be done, in His way.
I don’t know what happens when our earthly bodies stop functioning and exactly what happens as believers go to heaven. But I trust that God is in control and I pray for those who are lost, trusting that He is in control.
How would you feel about me presenting your question to my other readers via a blog post?
The commenter responded that she would like for me to present it to you, as well. So, dear readers, again I ask a question of you: What are your thoughts on the matter?
