Prayers Answered By Our Time

Why are some prayers answered quickly and some take years?  One factor might be how open we are to accepting what the Lord tells us.

I know two people that have been praying for direction in their lives.  One person asked for four months with no response and decided to stay up all night praying with God's answer coming at 7 am.

Another person has been praying for a year with no response.  The Bible says we must be obedient, unselfish and faithful in prayer.

This means asking for our Lord Jesus to lead our lives and not us trying to direct Him.  A joyous meaningful life in God's will is only a sincere prayer away.
