I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I LOVE IT WHEN GOD QUICKLY ANSWERS MY PRAYERS. WE TRULY SERVE A PRAYER ANSWERING GOD AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR EVERY PRAYER THAT HE HAS ANSWERED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE TO LIKE OR EVEN TO UNDERSTAND THE WORD "NO" WHEN I ASK FOR SOMETHING. I THINK WE CAN ALL IDENTIFY WITH THIS TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. A FRIEND OF MINE RECENTLY BECAME VERY DISCOURAGED BECAUSE OF UNANSWERED PRAYERS. THIS PERSON ACTUALLY FELT UNLOVED AND ABANDONED BY GOD AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE LORD REFUSED TO ANSWER.
WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF INSTANT GRATIFICATION. WE HAVE BECOME SPOILED AND DEMANDING. WE WANT WHAT WE WANT WHEN WE WANT IT AND REFUSE TO WAIT. WE HAVE BECOME IMPATIENT AND SELFISH. OUR LIVES ARE FAST PACED AND WE HAVE ALL BEEN BRAINWASHED BY THE AMERICAN DREAM. AS CHILDREN, WE ARE TAUGHT TO BE INDEPENDANT AND SELF SUFFICIENT. AS PARENTS, WE HAVE SPOILED OUR CHILDREN BY GIVING THEM ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THEY MIGHT DESIRE. IT IS NO WONDER THAT WE COME TO GOD WITH OUR EARTHLY DEMANDS AND EXPECT HIM TO IMMEDIATELY ANSWER OUR PRAYERS AND REQUESTS.
GOD HEARS ALL OF OUR PRAYERS. HE LISTENS TO EACH AND EVERY REQUEST. I LOVE A QUICKLY ANSWERED PRAYER, BUT I ALSO KNOW TODAY THAT SOME PRAYERS TAKE LONGER THAN OTHERS TO BE ANSWERED. I HAVE LEARNED TO ACCEPT THAT. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT GOD CAN AND WILL TELL ME "NO", JUST AS ANY PARENT MUST DO FROM TIME TO TIME. THROUGHOUT MY LIFE, I HAVE PRAYED FOR CERTAIN THINGS AND STILL TO THIS DAY, I HAVENT RECEIVED WHAT I PRAYED FOR. THIS DOESNT MEAN THAT GOD DOESNT LOVE ME. HE LOVES ME ENOUGH TO SAY NO. OUR GOD HAS INFINITE WISDOM AND KNOWS THE END FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. AN UNANSWERED PRAYER MIGHT JUST BE AN ANSWER IN DISQUISE. OUR LORD LOVES US BEYOND MEASURE AND HOLDS THE ANSWERS TO EVERY SITUATION WE MIGHT ENCOUNTER.
THE BIBLE TELLS US TO REMAIN PRAYERFUL AND VIGILANT. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE LORD TO IGNORE US. THE LORD LOVES US ALL AND WOULD NEVER LET US DOWN. WE ARE HIS MASTERPIECE. WE ARE THE APPLE OF HIS EYE. OUR PRAYERS WILL NEVER BE REJECTED OR NEGLECTED. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS IN HIS TIME, NOT OURS. OUR LORD IS ALL POWERFUL AND ALL KNOWING. HE ONLY WANTS WHATS BEST FOR US, EVEN WHEN HE TELLS US "NO."
