More often than not, we dictate to God how we want a prayer to be answered. We outline how it should be answered and even go as far as setting a deadline.
When the prayer is not answered, we get mad and disappointed. We conclude that God is not real, we are too sinful or He's too busy with other people who really need Him.
Surrendered Prayer is when you make your need or want known to God and then you trust. The trust comes into play when you thank Him and let "it" go, whatever it is. You trust that His answer will be the best in His timing.
God always answers prayers. He will not answer a prayer that will harm you, harm another or go against His word. In this case, the answer is no.
Often, it is the wait that makes one give up. Sometimes, what looks like an unanswered prayer to you, was an answered prayer to a loved one that was suffering for example, and you asked for them to stay but they asked God to let them come home.
There are many things you and I will not understand, here and now...but one day we will.
Surrendered Prayer is when you have relationship, a love relationship with Jesus and you know that you can trust Him. He's got ya.
