What Unanswered Prayer Tempts You to Give Up on God?

Scripture Passage: Luke 18:1-8

I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?” Luke 18:8 NLT

Do you ever wish God would hurry and answer your prayer?

I do, but Delay is a test of your faith – not just your patience.

One day, Jesus told a story about a widow who finally got justice after she badgered a judge day-after-day.

When the story ended, Jesus asked a question:

Would he find persistent faith, like that of the widow, when He returns to earth?

Persistent faith – the kind that doesn’t let go – takes time to grow.

We may never know why God sometimes delays in answering prayers.

But remember: delay tests your faith, not just your patience.

What unanswered prayer tempts you to give up on God?

Keep praying about it and keep the faith.
