How God Answers Prayers

Author Unknown

 

When the idea is not right

God says “No”

No – when the idea is not the best,

No-when the idea I absolutely wrong,

No- when it may help you,

it could 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.

 

Remember-God’s delay is not God’s denial,

God’s timing is perfect.

Patience is what we need in prayer.

 

When you are not right, God says, “Grow”,

The selfish person must 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 new found belief;

Diseased tissue responds to treatment;

and healing begins

The door to your dream suddenly swings open,

And there’s God saying “Go!”
