Afraid To Pray
Posted on Nov 17, 2008 under Faith | Comments are offI’m afraid. My fear is keeping me from asking God for help. I’m sure that seems odd but it’s true.
I’ve prayed so long and so hard for two very special intentions that I’m beginning to lose faith. Both situations have gotten worse and worse over the years and now I find myself avoiding praying altogether. I’m afraid that if I pray and still receive no help, my faith will be destroyed.
I know that God does everything in His own time; I know that sometimes when we ask, He says No. Knowing all that doesn’t do much good, though. There are times when I become so distraught that I doubt God’s very existence. That’s why I’m afraid to pray. I’m afraid that if my prayers are not answered, I’ll give up on God. I’m at that point.
