Rejection, Sin and Unanswered Prayers

Things in life haven’t gone quite the way I hoped or desired just recently…

My general responses have been to sin, to be angry at God and others, and to not trust God’s purposes – yeah it’s easy to quote Romans 8:28 – I’m sure that is true, but it doesn’t look or feel that way at the moment.

I don’t have anything more to say on sin other than what Glen Scrivener has written – how should we respond to sin? Except maybe a thought from Romans 7…

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!

As for responding to God, it’s the lack of trust and blindness to ‘seeing the big picture’ that expose idolatry, false motives, selfishness and sin. I guess I just want to go back and listen to CJ Mahaney on Unanswered Prayers.
