We are living in a time where we want quick fixes. We want a fast food meal. We expect to spend five minutes with God and get through the day or even the week. If we want to see growth in ourselves, it is going to take more than that. It can’t just be something we check off of our to do list or something we do if we have time. We will only get what we put into it.
Our lives are filled with convenience. We have microwaves and text messages, to only mention a few, where we get things like satisfaction and answers quickly. We expect our prayers to be answered like that also. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Our prayers will be answered in His time as always. It is our job to pray without ceasing. When we don’t see the answer in our time frame, we wait until it is God’s time.
