Sometimes we may experience our own times of fear when we feel we're not hearing from God - we pray but we don't get answers.
In Scripture, we find people getting answers to prayer quickly and those not getting answers for a long time. Perhaps the most poignant example of a delayed answer - one that surely struck terror in the hearts of Mary and Martha - was when they asked Jesus to help their sick brother Lazarus. Jesus delayed, and their brother died. Yet four days later, Christ answered by resurrecting Lazarus.
Waiting for answers to our prayers can be difficult. But God can comfort and help as we approach His throne of grace with confidence...that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Loving God, You know what's on my heart. Please help me trust You as I await Your answer.
