I have no idea where to put this question but here goes....
I've been praying for years without any answers that I as a human being would recognize.
My question is simply, if only God knows the logic about how prayer and answering prayer works, how can we begin to position ourselves in this life?
I always get a response like "He is answering your prayers but in mysterious ways".
But what good is that if only God knows the mystery?
No matter what I question there is always an answer from someone in the Church. One pet peeve of mine is someone never admitting that something might not happen.
It is 100% possible for someone to pray and pray and pray, and see no HUMAN answers to the prayers.
Yet the response from someone in the church is "It's just in God's timing".
I wish they would say "You know what, you'right. You may never see an answer".
