“I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me. You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’ I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.” LORD After the LORD had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has.

We know that God is a caring and loving God so why does He sometimes say “no” to our prayers or circumstances? Why is there confusing silence when it seems that the plans we have prayed are so in line with His will? In this 3-day plan, pray along with someone who has experienced that confusion and that pain. Pray for clarity, but also for understanding and perspective as God takes you through the difficult journey of knowing how to respond when God says “no.”
God is a God of restoration; He can make everything new again by His presence. Whatever we think we may have lost—our dreams, our health, our relationships, our innocence, our economy, our peace—God is able to restore us many times over!
