I read this somewhere (I read a lot) and I actually think it's true...what is your opinion on this??? I believe that God only gives 3 answers to prayers: 1~ Yes 2~ Not yet 3~ I have something better in mind.

I think GOD never answers prayer because as almighty He alrady knows what you want even before you were born. So, how HE will answer to prayers which HE already given or provided to you?

Good point!!! The thing is that while what you say has it's logic still people need a little positive pick me up if you will. People sometimes need a bit of thread to keep holding on to their fragile faith. A friend sent that prayer answer bit in an email at a time when I was depressed over personal problems and believe me, it got MY faith going again!!! Many people may disagree with how it's put but many more may find inspiration in those words like I did. The whole point of this discussion is to reach people in a positive manner and somehow help boost their faiths again whether just in their daily lives or at a critical moment that may arise. Thank you so much for your response.

Really? Think about this, if your prayer was answered He obviously said yes. If he took long to answer your prayer, He was probably telling you that it was not time (not yet) and so on. I'm not saying that this is a fact. This is just the way it seems to me and so for me it rings true. This is just my opinion.

I have heard something like this before. My friend told me. I also read it someplace. I believe it to be truly, true.

You are almost right. God know what we want and what should not have. If we want something, and if it is God's wish that we should have it, he will give an immediate approval. But if it is something God doesnt like, then we will get an immediate No. If it is not time for us to get something, then he tells us to wait. May be we have to wait as long as when He intends to give it to us.

Please note that I am a firm believer in God because He guides me by the hand everywhere I go. My intention with this post is not to criticize but to point out a very interesting point. Don't you ever wonder why He ''doesn't answer your prayers'' sometimes??? It's because He either doesn't think that it's the right moment or just has something else in mind for you. I love God and keep in mind that this post is suppost to help us think in a positive manner of His motives for either answering our prayers or making us wait. Take care!!!
