Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers?

A Biblical Guide to God's Hidden Purposes

About this book

When Heaven seems silent, and God, indifferent . . . bring your disappointment, anger, questions, and broken heart.

Life can be disappointing—bitterly disappointing. Especially if you’ve been asking, or begging, for God’s help and your prayers go unanswered. Maybe you were taught that God loves you only to discover that when you really need Him, He’s not there.

In Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayers? respected preacher and bestselling author Dr. Erwin Lutzer helps us see God’s love and guidance even when He seems to be silent. This biblical guide ministers to tender and hurting places as it thoughtfully considers:

  • When the person you love isn’t healed.
  • When the worst happens.
  • When evil feels like it’s winning.
  • When promises are unfulfilled.
  • When the answer is disaster . . . and more.

As Lutzer delves into Scripture and reveals God's hidden purposes, readers’ hearts move from despair or despondence to hope and trust. Whatever your current position is to prayer—clenched fists, tear-stained face, heartache, or back turned—the truth of this book will transform you.

If you’ve ever in desperation mumbled the question, Does God even care? If you’ve left the faith, are losing your grip on faith, or know someone who has departed the faith, this book is for you.

We need to hear these encouraging truths, and we probably know someone else who needs them as well.
