Prayer Is More Than Asking And Receiving

How many times have we said, "Why are my prayers not being answered right now?!"

We live in such a fast-paced world. We are spoiled and want things right now. When we call or text a person, we want them to respond back right then. We zap our food in a microwave so that we can eat it right now. Technology has put us living in an "I want it right now" world. Now don't get me wrong, I like and use technology, I appreciate having it, and I am very grateful for it. I would not be able to do this blog if it were not for technology.

What I want us to remember is, when we pray to God, He will answer according to His will and according to His timing. We may not get an answer right away. There may be a prayer we will pray years for before God answers. We also need to recognize and accept when God closes a door (stop beating on it!) especially when we asked, "Your will be done in this, Lord."

Prayer is more than asking and receiving. It is praying and giving it over to God and believing and trusting with our faith that God hears and He will answer...in His time, not ours.
Love in Christ,
