Most of us would testify to the fact that at some point in our lives have experienced delay to answers prayer, or experience no answers to prayer.

You may be going through that now.

Some have received answers they did not ask for.

Depending on the level of faith of where the individual is in their walk, they react to that

lack of answers or delay in answers or getting the wrong answers, or at least in their

view will be the wrong answers.

Some become angry with God.

Others develop what I call cold love toward God,

kind of give God the silent treatment.

Still others give up praying altogether.

And yet there are those who use this as an opportunity

to grow more in intimacy with God,

to grow in their knowledge of God.

They begin to develop greater faith than they've ever before.

And they begin to use this opportunity to ask the

Lord, Lord, what do you want me to learn from this? Lord, teach me how to pray consistently with your will.

Lord, help me to trust you more than ever before. Lord, help me to trust the fact that you

always work for my good and for your glory. Lord, teach me. Lord, I know that you always have my

best interest at heart and mind. Lord, I know that you are protecting me from what's around the corner that I can't see.

Lord, I know that you cause all things to work together for good for those who love you.

When you ask this of the Lord, genuinely, I can tell you that is one prayer the Lord will answer,

that you will grow in him every single day.
