Do you ever wonder why God doesn’t always answer prayer in as quick a fashion as you’d like?

I’m realizing that it’s making me go back to the Bible for the promises I can say, “How long?” to. I’m not comfortable going to my life of ease, my video games, my naps, and my favorite foods. I feel inclined, no, I feel a hunger for going to the words of God.

“Man won’t be able to live on bread alone,” Jesus said, “But on every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.” (Deut. 8:3; Matt. 4:4)

How about you? What are some things you’ve learned about prayers that weren’t imediately answered?
