When God Says No - April 21, 2023

The Inner Life

Father Tom Wilson joins Patrick for a conversation about Accepting God’s Will When He Says No * (2:32)  Discernment of God's will * (5:32) what does it mean when God says no * (11:46) When it seems like God doesn't care * (15:23) How long should we wait for God to answer a prayer? * (19:54) Listeners Call into the show * Jennifer - Story of how we prayed for children every year it took 7 years, but we eventually had one. * Mark - I was going through conversion last year and going to confession daily just to feel forgiven. It took months for it to sink in that I was forgiven. I learned to trust God. * Julie - It all comes back to trust. Jesus said he would never leave us, and he does what's best for us, so we have to trust his answer. * Debbie - What if God is still telling me NO? I'm patiently waiting on his yes. * Nora - God told me NO when I was 8. My dad wasn't a part of my life and I really wanted to know him, but God kept telling me NO. I found out later he raped my mom. * Katherine - I'm in my 70's and none of my prayers have been answered. Why is that?
