You’ve heard of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” God and I have our own version of this agreement, which we call “Ask until you’re blue in the face and I still won’t tell.”
My reading of scripture reminds me I’m in good company with this—many of the heroes of the faith received answers late in the game, if ever. So I suppose it should be encouraging that God treats me the same. But some days the military version seems the way to go–if there’s going to be “no tell,” I’m tempted to stop asking.

Sometimes prayer may be more about making us than making God. The power as much in the asking as in the answering. (Though that doesn’t necessarily cause the “silence” to be any less frustrating.)
But do take heart: At least somebody is “hearing” your blog.
Maybe God already answered – Anonymously?
