8. List three reasons – with scriptural references – why, under certain circumstances, you may not receive what you ask for in prayer.

1. He will not answer you if you pray in doubt.

But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. James 1:6-7

2. God’s grace is enough.

To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was giving me a form in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, So that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. II Corinthians 12:7-10

3.God’s will may play out on a level above our understanding.

My father, if it is possible, maintenance cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will. Matthew 26:39b

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
