PRAYER - Answered / Unanswered

QUESTION:  Why is it that some people's prayers are so quickly answered than others?

ANSWER:  There are many things involved in the time-length of prayer being answered.  Some reasons can be:

1. The maturity (or lack thereof), or development of one's faith for the particular issue being prayed over.
2. God's perfect timing for the specific issue for which one is praying
3. People or other conditions lining up in order for the prayer to be fulfilled in fullness (completeness)

I encourage you to not become discouraged if your prayer seems slow in being answered.  Continue to trust God.  If you have prayed according to God's Word (which is His will) - it will be fulfilled.  In Galatians 4.4, the Apostle Paul says, "When the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son..."  God fulfills prayer in the fullness of time.  Prayers are answered when everything is ready.  Our loving Father doesn't want us to receive only part of the blessing He has for us - He wants us to receive His very best and all.  So continue to trust Him, and as you open your mouth wide He will fill it to the full!
