Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to
pray and not lose heart,
Many people give up too easily in prayer. When they don't see
the answer almost immediately, they quit.
God is not pleased with this approach.
You may say, "God knows my need. Why doesn't He just give it to
me, instead of playing games?"
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
Whether you agree with God's ways, or not: God is still in
charge and makes the rules -- not you. So, it does you no good
to argue or complain. Better to just line up with God instead
of fighting against His plan. Besides, in reality God's ways
are perfect, it is just that we are often too immature and
ignorant to understand all God is doing.
Scripture has many examples of people pressing in and receiving
answers to prayer. We should never be quitters when it comes to
prayer.
It is God's will to answer your prayers. He is the One who told
you to pray. God actually delights in answering your prayers.
(Never forget that God loves you more than you can imagine. God
loves you more than He loves Himself, and proved it by dying in
your place, so you could go free.)
"Then why are there so many delays?" perhaps the delays are happening because your not ready? Or because you keep trying to do God's job for him???
God has not brought you this far to leave you, so wait upon him, for He is never late is an on Time God.
