On the Topic of God answering my prayers

God always answer my prayer. ALWAYS. Do I like some of His answers? Nope just like I didn't like my parents' answers when I was a kid. God does promise that He will answer my prayers but His answers can vary and often I missed His true answers. God does not always say yes to every prayer even though I expect Him to do so.

The cause of failure is not my failure but rather, there other reasons why God chose to wait because He has a plan according to His will. Often He will give the promised powerful and compensating grace (Sufficient of Grace). When God provides me His Grace in my life, I am learning that God does answer in a different way so that His plan will be accomplished through our lives. The answer may not be the one you like or accept but God will give it to you anyway. I have LEARNED that God will delay the answers because He has something better for us than what we have asked (John 11:1-6; Luke 5:1-16; Luke 8:40-56). I also have learned that God may be witholding in order to do special work that He have placed us according to His plan and will (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

I also remember that God knows before I ask because He is ALMIGHTY God. Romans 8:26 says that "The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for".

Anyway, we are so focused to do according to OUR wishes and OUR will rather than according to God's will in our lives. When we pray, we should be doing this:

"Lord, I am transferring my will to you and follow your will".

We have to remember the following verses from the BIBLE.

Romans 8:28-29 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

In Proverbs 16:9 We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.

Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.

Proverbs 20:24 How can we understand the road we travel? It is the LORD who directs our steps.

Jeremiah 10:23 I know, O LORD, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps.
