Put another way, We say that when we pray, God will answer by saying Yes, No, or wait. We tend to dread the “wait” answer the most. Actually, the wait answer should be welcomed for it means that God shares our concern, that He is also deeply concerned for our general welfare, that He is paying attention to the state of our lives and has our best in mind, that He has His own specific priorities in respect to our needs, and that He is working to put us together in the way that He knows will work out for our good.
