Delayed Answers to Prayers
Its working for your Good
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 ASV
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
Do you Sometimes wonder why its taking so long for your request to be granted or why your prayers are not getting answered?has God forgotten to be gracious?
You've checked and you are in right standing with God,so its not sin.is God afflicting me? No,God is a good God but He allows it for our good( all things work together for our good,we that love God)
So why the delay?
Let's take a look at these 3 reasons amongst others.
1. 2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;
Its working for our good,to toughen& strengthen our faith muscles.
2. So that God can comfort us. Instead of getting angry with God.say "Lord,I receive your comfort, comfort me Spirit of God,and show me the way out of this affliction".You'll soon discover His love, embrace& direction right by you.
3. So that you can comfort others ( the word comfort means to lessen the pain or grief of another,giving hope& assurance of a better tomorrow). Now tell me,how can u comfort another if you have not pulled-through or you are pulling -through a similar situation?
Cheer- up! You are a role model!
Someone is going to pull- through a challenge,an oppression, maybe even an addiction just based on your testimony!
Instead of moping around,go look for someone to encourage,someone to tell "hey I'm going through same.you are not alone"
Remember.its working for us a more more eternal weight of glory!& guess what?
