What’s Talking God so Long to Answer My Prayer?

Many times we feel the Lord is taking too long to answer our prayer requests. Especially if you’re used to handling everything yourself, meaning you’re pretty much a control freak. In this scenario, the person with that worker attitude, always hands on and barely leaving room for the Lord’s help, is not a good thing. If we are not careful, we could be in the way of God’s help. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promises, but we are prone to and have the constant propensity of moving too fast. So when we don’t see the Lord’s provisions from our prayers when we feel it should come, it’ll test our patients big time. It is through faith and patience we obtain the promises of God (Hebrews 6:12). God’s ways are above our ways and are past finding out for now, but we have faith to bridge the gap. We have the mind of Christ (1Corinthians 2:16), and can exercise the mind of Christ in our everyday lives and affairs, if we want it bad enough. God’s patience equals more souls saved from hell. Answered prayer for what we need or desire from God is at His discretion for manifestation. He rules the universe and keeps the earth spinning in the way He first created it. His timing is based on prearranged seasons that we walk into at different times of our life. The stretching of our faith can only come by way of trouble or crisis. So don’t give up, your blessing has already been calculated at the right time when you’ll need it most, just wait for it until it comes. If we prepare to wait forever, it won’t take that long at all.
