Keeping faith in faithless situations

It's easy to give praise reports when you have a perfect record of every prayer being answered.But I can think of a situation I've had, {and maybe some of you}, where, unless you're a masochist, you're NOT so happy.It's called prayers that haven't worked. In my own situations,the 2 biggest thorns in my side are busyness and dealing with troublesome people.Now, some prayers God has given me breakthroughs.But here's the ones I DIDN'T get out of the situations I prayed about.I've had where I have prayed with many people about removing a troublesome person from my life.Yet a few minutes after hanging up on the call on the prayer line,my cell phone rings, I check the number, and it's the annoying, troublesome person!!I was so confident that the prayer would work, and I'd be rid of them!!I placed my faith in it, but my "faith" was pretty soon let down when the person called and tried to rope me in to another problematic situation.Same with busyness.I could be going through an extreme busy period, where I don't have time to take care of my own needs,I pray about it, but again, soon after hanging up on the prayer line call, the busyness gets even worse!!Now before saying I'm praying wrong, or don't believe right,in other prayer requests my style works!!So...I don't know,but I'm honest about my emotions, and I can't say I'm "overjoyed" about the fact that I still have the problem.And I do get disappointed.
 
I am praying for you and your situation. Jesus knows our problems. He understands everything we are going through. Continue to pray for those who cause trouble for you. Jesus will touch their hearts and minds. Invite them all to Midweek Prayer Service and bible study at church. Jesus will save their souls because of our faithfulness to Him.

Is good to see or experience some of the challenges we go through as believers. It always gives a big meaning to the teaching of the gospel. the is an assumption to the world, but we call's it the Truth of God (Jesus Christ is the Truth of God) forever. Amen.

I am in a stagnent situation, I cant break a generational curse. But I'm holding on and hanging in there. I'll keep knocking at God's door.
