I have seen several amazing prayers answered so I know without a doubt that God hears. Yet there are prayers that have gone unanswered that deeply trouble me. I pray and pray and nothing changes / I get no inner peach about specific things and I search for why yet cannot get to a place of peace about certain unanswered prayers.
There was a lawyer in our town who claimed to be a Christian. He was a hypocrite and felt that he was entitled to trash others' family members. What is so egregious is that his own son was the town drug dealer. The lawyer represented all the teens in town who got caught with the drugs that his son sold to them...and of course you know that his son was never caught...or he was caught and it was fixed by his daddy and uncle (who was a judge.) If anyone said anything to the father about his drug-dealing son he would threaten and bully them legally since he's well-connected, has a big office and employs many other lawyers.
The drug-dealing son went on to become a lawyer after ruining lives. He and his father are very wealthy and keep expanding offices - and they made their money dishonestly by ruining lives.
All throughout the Bible we're told that God is a God of Justice yet I look around and see very little of it. When I pray I tell God that He put a sense of Justice within us yet we're forced to look on iniquity day after day after day and I often feel like Habakuk. What is really hard is that the above lawyer stole from me with the assistance of corrupt lawyer who works in the probate office. I contacted all the people within the system and they all circled the wagons around the corrupt probate lawyer. Not one would help. So the corrupt lawyer is basically being helped to steal with the blessing of the entire probate office staff. And the lawyer calls himself a Christian.
I've brought this to God and nothing has changed. I prayed and yet do not see justice even though it is promised in Scripture. Why would God place a strong desire for justice and fairness within our hearts only to be frustrated when we're denied it?
What do others do when Scripture is crystal clear and yet we see the exact opposite happen?
