Praying With Confidence Overcoming Disappointment In Prayer Disappointment has a way of turning prayers into silence. It can be hard to pray when you are bitter and angry toward people you believe are ruining your life. It can be even harder to pray when you feel that God Himself has let you down. God understands our feelings. Yet He has made a way for us to come with confidence to His throne of grace. In the following pages, David Egner offers help to those who have lost confidence in God and in their own ability to know that He is listening when they pray. Martin R. De Haan II
