Sometimes it seems God isn't answering our prayers. This quote by Anonymous might give us some insight: "When you're going through something hard and wonder where God is, remember the teacher is always quiet during a test."

My guest, Amy Satterfield, spent years praying for children. Many unsuccessful attempts led to desperation and a crisis of faith. Why wasn't God answering her prayers? Why was He silent? Was this a test?

During her lonely and empty times, Amy experienced God's presence through His Word. His faithfulness to His children was written on every page. Slowly, Amy realized surrendering her desire to have a child led to an acceptance and appreciation of God for who He was and not what He could give her.

As her heart changed, her prayers changed too. She discovered His plans for her life - children or no children - were the vesy best plans for her life. After five years of waiting, God answered Amy's prayer to have children. While her children are answer to prayers, she knows those years had another purpose: surrendering to God allowed her to experience God's faithfulness in all aspects of her life.

 Maybe you haven't struggled with infertility, but I bet you have struggled at some point in your life with why God isn't answering your prayers. Amy's jouirney of experiencing God's faithfulness might help you when it seems your prayers aren't being answered.
