Why are you cast down, O my soul,\u00a0and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Psalm 42:11<\/p>\n I fight discouragement.<\/p>\n Do you?<\/p>\n Same lies in my head.<\/p>\n Unanswered prayers.<\/p>\n Unchanged people.<\/p>\n Who are we to question Almighty God?<\/p>\n We are but a breath in all of God\u2019s created beings.<\/p>\n God\u2019s ways are higher than ours.<\/p>\n Then mine. Then yours.<\/p>\n He is above it all.<\/p>\n Even unanswered prayers.<\/p>\n Even unchanged people.<\/p>\n Even the lies still swirling in your head.<\/p>\n Our job is to submit ourselves to Him, asking Him to make us new.<\/p>\n Then pray for what God lays on our hearts.<\/p>\n After we pray, we are to give it all to God.<\/p>\n The unanswered prayers.<\/p>\n The unchanged people.<\/p>\n The lies in your head.<\/p>\n Now we sit and trust.<\/p>\n Yes, we can pray, of course, we should.<\/p>\n But as you pray, resist the urge to scoop the burden back up.<\/p>\n God\u2019s got it.<\/p>\n He\u2019s got it and all the rest. Why?<\/p>\n Because He knows all things and loves your loved ones even more than you, you must trust Him.<\/p>\n And He loves you more than you know, too.<\/p>\n Those lies in your head?<\/p>\n Give them to God.<\/p>\n Remember Whose you are.<\/p>\n Fully and completely loved.<\/p>\n Repeat scripture aloud, retraining your brain.<\/p>\n Your prayers are not unanswered.<\/p>\n They are answered in God\u2019s timing.<\/p>\n In the mean time, pray, believe, and trust.<\/p>\n God\u2019s got the rest.<\/p>\n Photos by\u00a0Steve Gribble<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/amylinnea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/steve-gribble-iq9ahvbs2gc-unsplash.jpg?w=760\")
