WHEN HIS ANSWER IS NOT YES

prayer

WHEN HIS ANSWER IN NOT YES!! YES...This is the answer we all think we need, and are happy when we get it. God loves to give us what we need, but we have to remember that a lot of times our request does not line up with His will! God knows what’s good for us and for those we pray for. If you don't submit everything to God's will, you might end up asking for something that's not good for you but that God decides to answer with a Yes, because it's the only way you will learn.

Sometimes God wants to know if we are really serious about what we are praying for. Have we really thought this request through, or is it something that just occurred offhand and that we will lose interest in soon? Remember that God already knows what we want and what we need, so our prayers are at least in part for our own benefit, to let us and God know how committed, focused, and prioritized we are. If you are willing to keep praying for something for awhile, God knows then that you are really serious. And while he may be on his way to bless somebody else, he will turn around and come see about you. So my point is, Pray for God’s answer, not yours. Remember that all problems can be solved in more than one way. Remember, too, that we usually fix on one solution, which we bring before the Lord. But just maybe he has a better solution in mind.
