Do you ever wonder why God waits to answer you? Are there times that a reply to a prayer seems long in coming? Does it seem that the heavens are bronzed over, and that silence reigns? I have found that unanswered prayers, are just that, unanswered prayers. So, I need to keep on asking! The Bible teaches me that God hears every word, every thought of mine. Jesus Himself taught us that when we ask anything according to His will, we have what we ask for. Prayer is to be something that I do without ceasing. It is the way that God set up for us to communicate with Him. God knows all things, and yet He asks us to talk to Him. It is for our benefit that we are to be in constant communication with our Heavenly Father. I know, from past experiences, that I tend to try to live my life without God's help. I was reading this morning in Job and Isaiah, and the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart about this. I so often think that I know what is best for me, I tend to think that I can do it on my own. But, God is faithful to use my everyday life to show me that I should not be doing so.
Job 35:10–14 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night,Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?’ There they cry out, but He does not answer, Because of the pride of evil men. Surely God will not listen to empty talk, Nor will the Almighty regard it. Although you say you do not see Him, Yet justice is before Him, and you must wait for Him.
Pride in my heart keeps me from going to the Lord, I think that others can help me, I think I know how too solve my problems; these things keep me from going to God. So often the answer to my prayers tarry, because God is teaching me just that!! Gos alone knows what I need, God alone knows what is best for me, God alone can change my world.
