Jennifer - Story of how we prayed for children every year it took 7 years, but we eventually had one.
Mark - I was going through conversion last year and going to confession daily just to feel forgiven. It took months for it to sink in that I was forgiven. I learned to trust God.
Julie - It all comes back to trust. Jesus said he would never leave us, and he does what's best for us, so we have to trust his answer.
Debbie - What if God is still telling me NO? I'm patiently waiting on his yes.
Nora - God told me NO when I was 8. My dad wasn't a part of my life and I really wanted to know him, but God kept telling me NO. I found out later he raped my mom.
Katherine - I'm in my 70's and none of my prayers have been answered. Why is that?
