What to ask when you hit a dead end

THE 4 ANSWERS GOD GIVES EVERY PRAYER

God answers prayer in four simple ways: no, slow, grow, and go.

1. No: What we ask for can be wrong. I've prayed, "Lord, smite them," about people I saw as enemies. He just said, "No, I'm not going to do that."

Even Jesus heard no. In Matthew 26:39, He prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will." The Father said no, and Jesus let Him call the shots.

2. Slow: Sometimes the timing is wrong. We ask for a good thing before it's time, and the Lord says, "Not yet."

3. Grow: Other times, God questions our motives and maturity. I've prayed for promotions I wasn't ready for, and He threw up a brick wall.

Hurdles are fine, and getting past them gives God glory. When we hit a brick wall, it's worth asking who put it there. It might be Him, for our good, or because it isn't His will.

4. Go: That's yes, and certainly the
best answer to hear.

A no, a slow, or a grow is still an answer. If God feels silent, keep asking with open hands, and trust Him to call the shots.

5 WAYS TO ENGAGE WITH GOD’S WORD

A ministry called the Navigators came up with a simple way to remember five ways to connect with God through His Word.

1. Hear It: "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). That's where it starts: We need to hear God's Word.

2. Read It: Some days, the invitation is to read it. Before we start, we can ask, "Lord, what do You want me to do? Do You want me to read it?"

3. Study It: Other days, God may be inviting us to study it. That's worth asking Him plainly: "Lord, do You want me to study it?"

4. Memorize It: There are also times He's inviting us to memorize it. Bring that question to Him too: "Lord, do You want me to memorize it?"

5. Meditate On It: His invitation might be to meditate on it. Whenever we connect with Him through His Word, we can ask, "Do You want me to meditate on it?"

So no matter your knowledge level of the Bible, you can always learn something from it through these connection points.
