A Prayer for Our Unanswered Prayers

A Prayer for Our Unanswered Prayers

Few things test our faith more deeply than unanswered prayer. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, when we pray with earnest hearts but don’t see change, it’s easy to feel forgotten by God. Discouragement, frustration, or even anger can creep in. Yet Isaiah 65:24 assures us that God not only hears us—He is already at work before we finish asking.

Lynette Kittle reminds us that when answers feel delayed, we’re invited to draw closer to God rather than pull away. Scripture encourages us to pause and ask searching questions: Are we harboring unconfessed sin? Are we engaged in habits or influences that grieve the Holy Spirit? Or, as in Daniel’s experience, could spiritual opposition be hindering the delivery of God’s answer?

Unanswered prayers are not proof that God is distant. Sometimes they are a call to repentance, an invitation to deeper trust, or part of a battle being waged in unseen realms. Even when silence feels deafening, we can cling to His promise: “No good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless” (Psalm 84:11).

Today's Bible Reading:

"Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." – Isaiah 65:24 (NIV)

Key Takeaways

  • God hears and responds—even before we pray (Isaiah 65:24).

  • Sin and spiritual compromise can create barriers to prayer (1 John 1:9, Ephesians 4:30).

  • The enemy can interfere, but perseverance in prayer brings breakthrough (Daniel 10:12–13).

  • Unanswered prayers are opportunities to draw near, examine our hearts, and trust God’s timing.

Let’s Pray Together

Dear Father, thank You for hearing my prayers even when answers seem delayed. Help me examine my heart and remove anything that creates distance between us. Strengthen me to persevere in prayer, trusting that You are faithful and good, and that You withhold no good thing from Your children. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
