James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
God is not a genie in a bottle. However, He is in the business of answering prayers. James 5:16 tells us, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” I am sure we have all seen answered prayers. What about the unanswered ones? Are they really unanswered or are they just not answered the way we wanted them to be answered?
Believe me, I have a few of those prayers lingering out there too. I have turned to God and asked Him why He is not answering my prayers. Sometimes I have to examine what it is I am praying for. Is it what is best for me? Is there a timing issue? Is what I am praying for not ready to be answered yet? Is there some other logistics that God can see that I can’t that have to fall into place first? Then there are other people I am praying for every day. I know when I pray for their salvation, God is doing His part, but they still have free will.
I can promise you that your prayers are never going unanswered. No, they are front and center in God’s mind. He is working on them every single moment of the day. I know it is hard, but sometimes wait is the answer to your prayer.
Lord, I thank You for answering my prayers in Your time and Your way. ~amen
