I've been saturated with questions regarding unanswered prayers and it soon made me think about my own situation. Why are some of my requests remain unanswered though I know that it is according to God's will [which means that the bible agrees with it]? I forgot about the concept of "asking" Him. I assumed that by plainly reading and knowing what is in His Word, I may be sure about it...
But I might not be aware that He wants me to experience things to prepare me for His answer... Like what He did to Joseph before making him overseer of Egypt and it made Him appreciate the Lord evenmore... I've learned from a pastor once that if I want to be like Joseph, I should allow myself to be "thrown into a well", "be enslaved by egyptians", and "be jailed"... I know that those are just symbolisms but can I still really praise Him if that ever happens to me? Is this thing that I'm going through something that I can call "refinement with fire"? Whatever the case... I thank God for reminding me to ask Him about what He really plans for me and how He wants it to come to pass... Lord I ask for You to give me wisdom and revelation that I may know You better...
Thanksgiving and Prayer 15For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
