I have a few questions. Not to mock anyone’s faith, but because I’ve genuinely wrestled with them.
If God answers prayers, why do parents still bury babies they begged Him to spare?
If God gave you the job, did He choose not to give it to someone else who prayed just as hard?
Is prayer meant to change God’s mind, or is it meant to change ours?
Can someone believe in God, love Him, and still doubt that He intervenes in human affairs?
I’m not looking for an argument. I’m trying to think honestly.

When we say, “God answered my prayer,” how do we know it wasn’t preparation, hard work, timing, chance, or the kindness of other people?
If every outcome can be explained as God’s will, whether the answer is yes, no, or wait, what evidence would ever convince us otherwise?
If God answers prayers, why does it seem like He answers the ones that matter least?
A promotion.
A visa.
A contract.
But not the mother begging for her baby’s life.
I believe in God. I just don’t believe He intervenes in human affairs.
