Prayer is a powerful way to communicate with our Heavenly Father, but we need to remember when presenting our request before God that it's important to pray God's will be done. Sometimes we forget that part, but if we knew the end from the beginning like God does, we would never want anything other than God's way. There are times when our prayers are answered instantly, and other times we must wait. When our answer is delayed, instead of being frustrated and worried, have faith that God knows best. We may not understand, but God does, and He alone knows what is best for us. He knows all the answers to the whys in our life, but it isn't always in our best interest to know the reasons for the delay, or to even know the answer to the why. We must trust our Heavenly Father to give us the best answer. Whatever you're struggling with today be persistent in prayer, don't give up, keep trusting, praying for God's will and claim Psalms 40:1 “I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined unto me and heard my cry”.
