Ministry Reading

Prayer 

GOD’S ANSWER TO PRAYER 

The Time in Which God Answers

2. From the first day that you set your heart to understand this matter…your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. (Dan. 10:12)

On the first day that Daniel prayed, his prayer was heard by God, but he did not know of God’s answer until twenty-one days later, because the angel who was coming with the answer met with resistance from Satan’s angel. This shows that sometimes God’s answer to our prayer can be delayed by Satan. Like Daniel, we should endure in prayer to overcome obstacles from Satan so that we may see God’s answer.

3. When therefore He heard that he was sick, He remained at that time in the place where He was for two days. (John 11:6)

When Lazarus was sick, Martha and Mary, his sisters, sent some to tell the Lord. When the Lord heard about Lazarus, He remained for two days before He came. Consequently, the two sisters felt that the Lord had come too late, that He had done something wrong. However, the Lord waited for two days because He had His own plan. He wanted to wait until Lazarus had died and was buried so that He would have an opportunity to express His resurrection power. Therefore, the Lord’s answer to prayer, whether early or late, is always according to His plan.

4. And will not God by all means carry out the avenging of His chosen ones, who cry to Him day and night, though He is long-suffering over them? (Luke 18:7)

Sometimes God waits a long time before answering our prayer. While we are waiting, it seems as if He is ignoring our prayer, but eventually He gives us an answer. The time that He takes to answer our prayer is in His hands. If He thinks that it is better to be quick, He will answer quickly. If He thinks that it is better to be slow, He will answer slowly.
