When you think your prayers aren’t being answered, you tend to get discouraged and cry out, “God, why aren’t you helping me?”
Yet God has promised to answer your prayers: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). However, sometimes you don’t see the answer for a while, or God may say no because He has a different—and better—plan.
So you are exhorted to ask. But your request must be…
Lord, I confess that I’m not good at waiting for
Your answers to my prayers. But as I wait,
I believe You will build my faith, purify my heart,
and show me Your will. Thank You!

I know from personal experience that living a life of prayer is not easy. Our lives are filled with a multitude of activities that tend to crowd out time for prayer. How many times have you been guilty of telling someone that you would pray for them? Your heart genuinely yearned to be a part of bringing their need before the throne of God. And then what happened? I’m sure that, if you’re like me, more times than you would like to admit, you forgot about the promise to pray before you rounded the corner of the church building! Why? Because you didn’t write the request down.
Paul knew the importance of strategic prayer in his own life and the lives of others. And he knew what to pray for. His prayers focused on spiritual issues. He knew that if those he was praying for were spiritually mature, they could handle anything.
