Take a BowSample

Have you ever wished that your prayers were answered when you prayed them? That would be nice, huh? Unfortunately, God doesn’t function like a genie who grants whatever wishes we come up with right when we say them aloud. Still, God does hear you whenever you pray. Not just that, God cares about every word and the heart behind each one.

While our prayers may not be answered in our timing, we can trust that God is perfect. We can put our confidence in knowing that our prayers will be answered when God’s time comes. It may not happen as expected, but it will always happen as God’s best for our lives.

Today, spend time working on memorizing this verse. Say it as a prayer out loud, asking God to remind you that you’ll be lifted up in God's timing. Even when your prayers seem unanswered, put your confidence in the truth that God is always there and working.
