If we believe that God is who He says He is and do what He has promised, why do we habitually waver in our prayers? One reason we doubt is that we fail to see God at work in our circumstances. We asked and nothing happened. But the Lord is not some cosmic bellhop who jumps in response to our requests. He sees past, present, and future and knows the right time for every answer, arranging situations to accomplish His will, opening hearts and preparing us to receive what He wants to give. Ignorance is another problem. If we don't know His ways we will be disappointed in His response. When He fails to intervene on our timetable or method we start to doubt. To overcome doubts spend time in the Word to learn God's principles and ways then you'll begin to grasp what He wants to achieve in your life and how He goes about it. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord." (Isaiah 55:8)
