Foreword by Jess ConnollyTrusting in God’s goodness even if He says no, not right now, or not this way.When we have good dreams-dreams that seem in line with the heart of God-it can feel devastating to watch them die. Why doesn’t our God, who is all-powerful and all-loving, fulfill our good desires?When Dreams Fall Apart addresses the disillusionment many feel when God seems silent to prayers and longings. Through powerful biblical teaching and personal narrative, Jennifer Lucy Tyler helps readers encounter a God who is worthy of our hearts and our trust, even when the answer to our prayers isn’t what we’d hoped.Readers are invited to observe the moments in scripture when people cried out to God, but His answer was delayed or different than they’d expected. And Tyler shares her own grief, anger, and disappointment when she felt unseen and unheard by God. Together with Tyler, readers learn to name and lament their unanswered prayers, and they discover pathways to resilient hope, faithful contentment, and triumphant joy.Unanswered prayer is not a sign that you’re doing something wrong or missing God’s call. Tyler helps us experience the peace of knowing that God is close in our pain and working in beautiful-often unseen-ways in our lives.
