When God Doesn't Make Sense Part 2
When God says, "No," trust Him and walk by faith. "The just will live by faith" Is one of the most quoted commands in the Bible (Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:37-38). How many times have we prayed, not gotten what we wanted, and asked, "Why not God? Why wouldn't You want this? It seems like this is best?" Since we don't get to find out why the answer is no, what are we forced to do? Trust God knows what is best and walk by faith. The reason it says we must live by faith, versus simply have faith, is the Christian life is a life of faith. There aren't many more applicable times in life than when we hear no. https://youtu.be/qtKDfdIYG5c When God says, "No," trust Him, because we don't get to find out why the answer is no. This is what it means to walk by faith. Table of ContentsSermon Lessons for When God Says, "No," Trust Him and Walk By FaithFamily Worship Guide for When God Says, "No," Trust Him and Walk By FaithSermon Notes for When God Says, "No," Trust Him and Walk By FaithGod might say no (lesson 1) because we're being selfish.God might say no (lesson 2) because it's not His will.God might say no (lesson 3) because sin has consequences.God might say no (lesson 4) because of the other person.God might say no (lesson 5) because He knows what's best for us.God might say no (lesson 6) without being displeased.God might say no (lesson 7) and we shouldn't pout. Sermon Lessons for When God Says, "No," Trust Him and Walk By Faith Note: lessons 1 through 4 are from Part 1: When God Doesn't Answer the Way You Want God might say no: Lesson 1: because we are being selfish (James 1:5 cf. James 4:1-3). Lesson 2: because it's not His will (John 14:13-14, 1 John 5:14). Lesson 3: because sin has consequences (Deuteronomy 3:23-28, 2 Samuel 12:16-18). Lesson 4: because of the other person (Jeremiah 7:15-17, 15:1, Ezekiel 14:13-16). Lesson 5: because ____ __________ what's best for us (2 Corinthians 11:23, 12:2-10, Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 8:28). Lesson 6: without being ____________________ (2 Samuel 7:1-7). Lesson 7: and we __________________ ________ (1 Chronicles 29:1-5). Family Worship Guide for When God Says, "No," Trust Him and Walk By Faith Day 1: Read 2 Corinthians 11:23, 12:2-10, Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 8:28 and discuss: what effect do you think all of Paul's suffering had on his life? Do you think you know what Paul's thorn was? Why or why not? Why do you think God didn't clearly tell us what it was? Why do you think God chose not to answer Paul's pleading about the thorn? By leaving the thorn what good was accomplished in Paul's life? What encouragement can you receive from God leaving Paul's thorn? Is there a thorn in your life that God has removed? Is there a thorn in your life that God has not removed? Discuss both. Day 2: Read 2 Samuel 7:1-7, James 4:3, 5:16 and discuss: why did God tell David no? Why might God tell us no? In other words, why might God not answer some of our prayers the way that we want? How can this account with David encourage us? Can you look back on some times God did not answer your prayers the way that you wanted, but in hindsight you are glad that's the case? Can you discuss some other prayer requests that you are simply trusting God that it was better He didn't answer the way you wanted? Can you think of some times in your life that God said no, but He was still probably pleased with you and your request? Day 3: Read 1 Chronicles 29:1-5 and discuss: how do you think David felt when God told him that he could not build the temple? What sinful feelings do you think David might have had to resist? Can you discuss a time, or some times, when God has told you no and you were tempted to pout? What sinful temptations did you have to resist? What would a godly response, or what would godly responses, look like instead? Why did Jesus pray three times that the cup would pass from him, if he knew he would have to go to the cross?
When God doesn't answer the way we want it can be very discouraging. It can leave us feeling very hurt and confused. When we are praying for ourselves or others and those prayers are not answered, we might feel like it's our fault. We might be tempted to think, “If we only prayed a little more, had a little more faith, or were a little more mature, then God would say yes.” This sermon will encourage you that it's not necessarily your fault and you don't need to feel bad. Hearing no from God can be quite a trial, but God knows best. His ways are right. He is all knowing and if the answer is no it's because that's the perfect answer. He understands time and purpose better than we can imagine. Being wise means trusting God and walking by faith including when we hear now. Here is part 2: When God Says, “No,” Trust Him and Walk By Faith. https://youtu.be/2eUTDv-MfjU When God doesn't answer the way we want it can be very discouraging. It can leave us feeling hurt and confused, as though it's our fault.

Lesson 2: it's not ______ ________ (John 14:13-14, 1 John 5:14). Lesson 3: ______ ______ consequences (Deuteronomy 3:23-28, 2 Samuel 12:16-18).

James 4:1-3 and discuss: why do we need wisdom during trials? Why do we need wisdom when God doesn't answer our prayers? Name some selfish prayer requests God might not answer. Name some unselfish prayer requests you hope you would answer. Feel free to share some specific selfish and unselfish requests of your own. Day 2: Read John 14:13-14 and 1 John 5:14 and discuss: what does it mean to pray in Jesus's name? How do we know when we are praying in Jesus's name? How do we know when we are not? Pastor Scott shared about Steven Lee, the founder of Sermon Audio and how God didn't answer his prayer to bring about something that would bring Him greater glory. Can you think of other examples of this? Day 3: Read Deuteronomy 3:23-28 and 2 Samuel 12:16-18 and discuss: why wasn't Moses able to go into the Promised Land? Despite David's prayer and fasting why do you think the child of adultery died? What can we learn about prayer from these two examples? Day 4: Read Jeremiah 7:15-17, 15:1, Ezekiel 14:13-16 and discuss: why do you think God wouldn't listen to the prayers of these godly men interceding for the Jews? What does this teach us about intercession and prayer for others? In what ways does this discourage us? In what ways can this encourage us? Sermon Notes for When God Doesn't Answer the Way You Want The title of this morning's sermon is, “When God Says No – Part one.” Go ahead and open your Bibles to James 1. We have been in a series called, “Pursuing Wisdom.” It's been about two months because of the weeks that I couldn't preach when I was in bed. Then I preached a few sermons about our bodies breaking down. The pause in the series came at a good time, because I want to talk to you about a somewhat new topic, and that's God saying no. When we started the series I told you that wisdom is not: Knowing the futureKnowing why God is or isn't doing what he's doing Instead: Wisdom is being able to handle trials wellWisdom is being able to navigate through the twists and turns of life.

When God Doesn't Make Sense - There are times in our prayer lives where it feels like God just isn't hearing us or that He's distant. God hears all of our prayers, but God does not always answer prayers how we think He should, and for good reason. Continue to trust God, continue to pray and to put your faith in Him always.

When God Doesn't Make Sense - Week 2 - Fr. Patrick Beneteau by Good Shepherd Parish Lakeshore
20200209 - When God Doesn't Make Sense by Harvest Church
Have you ever struggled to understand why things happen in life that don’t make sense? Have you ever questioned God about those struggles and felt that He was silent? What are we to do when God doesn’t work in the ways we think He should? The book of Habakkuk has some answers to those questions as Habakkuk shares his own confusion with God. He takes us on a progression of faith from confusion to consolation; from being perplexed to being at peace with God. Life is filled with unanswered “Why’s”, and we can either torment ourselves trying to understand what God is up to, or we can learn to rest in the Lord and trust Him. Find out in today’s study how we can make the same progress as Habakkuk did in a teaching entitled, “When God Doesn’t Make Sense.”

She shares with us pieces of her life story and struggle with trichotillomania that is also told in her book Still Waiting: Hope For When God Doesn’t Give You What You Want.

Part 2 of the 'When God Doesn’t Make Sense' series uses Psalm 13 to help us deal with seasons of life when it feels like God has forgotten us--to remind us there is purpose in the waiting.
Summary: While sharing the no-holds barred story of the day to day agony of losing their son, Noah, they share how they grew closer together, found new perspectives and found a heart to heart connection with God.
