There is a nature in all of us in this world that if we like something, we want to get it fast but maybe we don’t need that thing or that thing is going to be very bad for us.
Or that thing might not be good for us right now, but we still look to God in prayer and we get upset when we don’t get it. One thing we don’t understand here is that God knows our past, present, and future. What you want in the present will not be right for you.
For example, if your son wants a bike from you before he is old enough, you must not give it to him because you know that giving him that time will hurt him. In the same way, God gives us what we want at the right time. You will be glad to know that your prayer’s answer is coming late which means the right thing will be given to you beyond your expectation.
The world where we are living today is unknown to each of us but it should be believed that the one who created us is aware of its every detail.

He has made beautiful plans for each of us and we must seek him in our lives in order to overcome this world. All of his plans are for our benefit and those will not harm us at all.
We are to call him and he will come before us as he takes care of us. He is trustworthy and we need to follow him to reach our final home where we shall live forever.
