God answers prayer everytime.
It's true. So many times it is YES to what we ask of Him.
But just as important are the NO's, NOT YET's, and I'VE GOT SOMETHING BETTER's. (The latter, if you think about it, are still "yes's"). Sometimes we misinterpret the NO of God as his displeasure, his silence as disinterest, or the not-coming-to-pass as we'd "hoped" with his inability or - worse still - his revenge for our sin or something like that.
But the scripture is clear: that is not the Father-heart of God.
To be sure, the NO's, NOT YET's, and I'VE GOT SOMETHING BETTER's are sometimes difficult for the servant of God to shoulder. The disease progresses, the loved-one dies, the job is lost, vehicle breaks down - but even then, our Lord promises: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." (Mt. 11:28-29)
How do we wait on the Lord? First, listen to Nate's message, then come and listen to a great conversation on an Old Testamant saint who got his PhD in NO-NOT YET-SOMETHING BETTER.
