God is not a cosmic bellboy for whom we can press a button to get things done ~ Harry Emerson Fosdick
I’ve come across people, including Christians, who think that the moment they need God they just have to call to Him and he will immediately answer, no matter what we are asking for, or what we need.
I’m afraid I’m going to quash that theory, at least partially…God is on call 24/7, and will hear every prayer we utter. However that does not mean he will automatically answer our prayer requests immediately…but He will answer them, in His time, not ours!
God will answer our prayers, but possibly not how we want or expect. He knows what’s best for us better than we know ourselves, so He answers our prayers in whatever way He deems is best for us, and whenever He deems it best for us.
