You prayed for God to come through on something… His answer…

What do you do?

Have you ever prayed, fasted, walked in faith, and believed God for something, and he did not come through for you? Or maybe the answer was the exact opposite of what you asked for?

  • You dreamed of leadership and wound up in prison.

  • You prayed for healing for a loved one, and they died.

  • You asked God for a new house, and yours burned down.
