God’s Not Slow, He’s Merciful

“He is patient with you”. When we pray to the Lord for help or anything, He answers that prayer right away. There’s no ocular proof of answered prayer when you pray, so that’s where faith and patience should be holding hands very tightly until the answer is a reality in this realm. “…..Through faith and patience we obtain the promises of God”. God’s timeline is different from ours. We are of the microwave generation because we want it now, and don’t want to wait any longer than we have to. The way to understand how God moves on our behalf is, He’s aligning things behind the scenes to have a domino effect of blessings. Many times our answered prayer comes as a multifold blessing to not only help you, but someone else who may have been hurting. He’s patient because first of all he wants everyone to be a part of His family, and many people need time to decide if they want God. He knows when we need more time to figure stuff out. Sometimes we need more time to hit bottom so we know what we’ve been doing all along doesn’t work. God’s not slow, He’s merciful.
