I am starting to lose patience with this book. The author’s analysis of why God does not answer prayers is increasingly trite and filled with pointless examples that raise more questions than it answers.
Maybe it would be more honest to say that God is (1) unable to answer prayers, or (2) is unwilling to answer prayers. The notion there is a “higher good” being served seems almost demonic.

“Darker trust.” (p. 80) That phrase from the book resonates with me.
I am watching my son being deliberately tormented by wicked men and women - and I have no power to act. Can I trust God in this darkness? It is now all on the line in a way that I have never had to imagine before. We are in our own Gethsemane with all light gone.
