When you get what you pray for – that’s God’s direction. When you don’t get what you pray for – that’s God’s protection.

God’s direction is His Will for your life…His divine plan and purpose playing out in perfect harmony with who you are. Isaiah 48:27 says, “I am the Lord your God, Who leads you in the way you should go.” In the same vein, Proverbs 20:24 reminds us, “A man’s steps are from the Lord.” We should want the Lord to direct our steps due to our limited knowledge and inability to see into the future. So by the same way, we should rejoice when we don’t get what we pray for… for it’s God’s steadfast and unchanging faithfulness watching over us…protecting us from unseen evil,(II Thessalonians 3:3) and guarding us from trouble.(Psalm 32:7) That’s because, God is good and can only do what’s good. (Psalm 119:68)
