PATIENCE IN PRAYER

When the idea is not right, God says, "NO".

No - when the idea is not the best.
No - when the idea is absolutely wrong.
No - when though it may help you,
     it would create problems for someone else.

 When the time is not right, God says, "SLOW".

 What a catastrophe it would be if God answered
 every prayer at the snap of your fingers.

 Do you know what would happen?
 God would become your servant, not your master.

 Suddenly God would be working for you
 instead of you working for God.

 When you are not right, God says, "GROW".

 The selfish person has to grow in unselfishness.

 The cautious person must grow in courage.

 The timid person must grow in confidence,

 The dominating person must grow in sensitivity.

 The critical person must grow in tolerance.

 The negative person must grow in positive attitudes.

 The pleasure-seeking person must grow in
 compassion for suffering people.

 When everything is all right, God says, "GO".
 Then miracles happen:
 

 A hopeless alcoholic is set free.

 A drug addict finds release.

 A doubter becomes a child in his belief.
 

 Diseased tissue responds to treatment, and healing
  begins.
 

 The door to your dream suddenly swings open
 and there stands God saying, "GO!".

 Remember: God's delays are not God's
  denials.
 

 God's timing is perfect.
 Patience is what we need in
 prayer.

Friends, here are the reasons why some of our prayers are delayed or unanswered. its a reminder for us. because some of us or most of us, that includes me!, do critic God's work... when our prayers has no answer. But we should remember that in everything that He do, He has a reason for that. And if our prayers has no answer, we should meditate the following lines below. God Bless!

Indeed, God's delays are never God's denials. He just wants them to happen in His own time ... "kairos" and not our time. We should never hurry God to make our wishes come true immediately. For sure it will happen ... and we just have to wait. After all, we do have faith and trust in Him, right? Like me, I asked Him for so many things already. Some of them happened already... but some are still not. Sometimes, I could not wait for them to happen any longer. I insist that they happen already. But it is just so rude for me.. I know! Because I should never do it that way... God will sure give them to me... I just need to be patient.
