Thank u for sharing
I asked which was it for me got
Wait.

"Sure, we are all impatient to have our prayers answered right away. But for his purposes—and often for our own growth—the answer is sometimes Wait. And it might be Wait a Long Time. Look at some of the Biblical characters—Joseph was in jail for two years before he was called to interpret Pharaoh’s dream, and Abraham was a pretty old man before Isaac was born. You’ve heard the old joke, “God give me patience and give it to me immediately.” We live in a culture of instant gratification, so we expect instant answers to our prayers. And often that does happen. But commonly we are asked to wait upon the Lord and his good timing.

And remember that some prayers are answered after the petitioner has joined the Lord. Not every Yes comes in our lifetime. So don't be discouraged just because you don't see a prayer answered while you're "

My tf married so might be a long wait.

Happyblah,

I enjoyed reading the attachment you provided about how / when God answers prayer. I've attached 2 examples of how my prayers have been answered.

In the 3rd reference, I provided an explanation that helps me understand that....it is not from "want" of God's answers to our prayers that stymies the manifestation of our needs....

....it is from lack of awareness and conscious (eyes wide open) use of the immutable Principles by which one recognizes that what we "want" is already, always present and available. God loves us so much that He has ALREADY answered ALL our prayers even before we were born.

....exactly like the availability of air (prayer answered) PRECEDES our need to breathe it (prayer request)....or we would not even be able to pray (breathe) at all.

Hope this, and the references below, makes you smile and thankful, as am I....for every breath, so to speak.

God bless you...
