God often answers prayer in the
following ways:
1. “Yes, you may have it.”
2. “No, that is not good for
you.”
3. “Wait, I have something
better for you.”
**“My grace is sufficient for
you” ( 2 Cor. 12:9 )
When He answers yes, it’s easy to
say, “Praise the Lord!” But when
He says otherwise, we have a hard
time finding reasons to praise Him.
Sometimes we don’t take “no” for
an answer, and we keep praying!
Or we look for a reason why He
didn’t answer our request.
But Scripture never says God will give us exactly what we ask for every
time. He is sovereign. He has the
right to say “no” according to His
infinite wisdom. Oftentimes, it’s for
our protection.
Sometimes, God wants to answer
our prayer, but the timing isn’t
right. Again, He is sovereign, and
His timing is perfect.
God also answers “My grace is
sufficient.” We may pray for years,
yet our circumstances remain
unchanged. God seems
unresponsive and heaven is silent.
In many cases, the problem isn’t the
length, intensity, or nature of our
prayers. Oftentimes, God is up to
something we don’t know about,
something much bigger than we
were expecting.
Something that may require a different answer than the one we anticipated.But rest assured that if God isn’t removing your particular “thorn,”
His grace is sufficient. By an act of
our will, we can decide to trust that
God knows what He’s doing, even
when there’s no logical or rational
explanation for our circumstances.
The Father is not offended when we
ask, “Why?” But He’s overjoyed
when we trust Him, even though He
may choose not to explain.
God always answers the prayers of
His children. As we learn to pray,
we will learn to discern His methods
God Bless You!!!
