Pete Greig | Unanswered Prayer

Jesus's unanswered prayers

Mark 8:22-25 (Half answered): spit on eyes, only half worked at first, seeing trees rather than people. Persistence in prayer: "(Keep on) asking and it will be given" is in present imperative continuous tense. Stacking dominoes... 'Beating on heaven's door with bruised knuckles in the dark' George Buttrick (1892-1980)

John 17:22 Jesus greatest prayer for the church to be united, it's not. Relational pain.

Matthew 26:39 : "May this cup be taken from me". God's will may be for us to suffer.

Prayer is less a source of power than of influence.

We are called to redeem and repurpose our suffering.
