The Perplexing Pain of Unanswered Prayer

I. God's People May Experience the Twin Trials of Painful Providence and Unanswered Prayers.

II. Our Sense of God's Former Mercies and of Our Own Covenant Faithfulness May Aggravate Such Trials.

III. Our Best Course in Such Circumstances is to Persevere in Humbly Pleading Our Need and God's Mercy, and in Trusting His Sovereignty and Covenant Faithfulness.
