Did you know that our Heavenly Father always answers our prayers?

Sometimes it is “Yes,” and we celebrate His kindness.

It may be “No,” and the sandpaper of God’s providence continues it’s transforming work. And as we learn from the country western classic, “some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.”

And then sometimes, it is “Not yet,” and we discover His sustaining endurance in one of life’s waiting rooms specializing in cultivating patience.

Because God delights in blessing His children, we can be certain that the each “yes”, “no” and “not yet” is woven together in a tapestry of grace which will glorify God and enrich us forever.

So pray boldly…God’s answers are always right on time and on target.
