In the song “Unanswered Prayers,” by Garth Brooks, the chorus states “some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.” Well Jeremiah 33:3 says “call to me and I will answer you.” So, the idea of unanswered prayers would seem to be false. Don’t worry; I’m not here to tear Garth Brooks apart or to say the song is an attack on Christian beliefs. I actually like the song and I understand when you are writing sometimes a little poetic license is necessary to make it all work. However, this song does help to illustrate the point I want to make.
