When God does not immediately respond to the cries of His children, it is because He wants to accomplish some gracious purpose in their lives. If you are waiting for an answer of some heartfelt petition, don't become impatient. Commit the matter into the hands of your loving heavenly Father and trust His wisdom.

The Lord always hears our prayers,

But He does not always say, "Yes!"

Sometimes He says, "Wait"

Sometimes He says, "No"

For He has something better for us.

 

God's delays are not denials,

He has heard your prayer,

He knows all about your trials,

Knows your every care.

 

God's delays are not denials,

Help is on the way,

He is watching o'er life's dials,

Bringing forth that day.

 

God's delays are not denials,

You will find Him true,

Working through the darkest trials,

What is best for you.
