Frequently Asked Questions

Why does God delay answers to prayer?

God's delays serve purposes we may not see: building faith, aligning circumstances, preparing our hearts, or waiting for the perfect moment. Abraham waited 25 years for Isaac — but the timing was perfect for God's plan. Delay is not denial; it's divine scheduling.

Should I keep praying for the same thing?

Jesus taught persistent prayer in the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1-8). Keep praying unless God clearly redirects you. Persistence in prayer is not nagging God — it's demonstrating faith that He hears and will answer.
