GOD ANSWERS PRAYER IN HIS OWN ACCURATE TIME

First of all, a prayer is a communication between God, (our Almighty) and a human being (His creation), to Whom we are giving thanks, Whom we are praising, before Whom we are humbling ourselves, from Whom we are asking for forgiveness and for anything within His will.

This we do with a conscious conscience that the One we are talking to, is carefully listening to us and knows before we start praying Him, what we are going to ask for and what we are going through. Many people claim to have suffered disillusionment in their prayer-life. They maintain that, in accordance with Scripture, they have made their requests known to God with thanksgiving, but their prayers have not been answered.

There are those whose faith has been shattered as their demands on the Lord for many things such as healing turned out to be fruitless. It is important to know and to accept that the Scriptures do not offer a magic formula for prayer with a built-in guarantee that God will give you whatever you ask for at any time convenient to you. Because God the Almighty has got a special purpose for each and every individual in this universe and He answers everyone’s plight at His own pace.

God knows exactly who you are, the purpose for which He brought you into this world, what you must accomplish, and what you wish should happen, so if all that you ask of Him in the name of Jesus Christ, will ultimately reflect the existence and supremacy of God, He will allow them to happen as you requested, neither earlier nor later, but exactly at His appropriate time.

A prayer is not to be regarded as a sporadic exercise but must be an ongoing experience of the presence of God within you at all times(Ephesians 6:18). When you accomplish this, you will begin to experience a new sensitivity to the Will of God as you become more and more receptive to the promptings of His Holy Spirit. This will enable you to seek His guidance in matters of prayer as you open yourself to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. If you are faithful in this, you have to be sure that God will answer your prayers, it doesn't matter how long, but He will definitely keep His promise.
