Let’s be honest; we have all felt at one time or another that our prayers may have fallen on deaf ears.

Prayer is our wireless connection to God, and His divine wireless plan has assured us that no prayer, no call, will ever be dropped and that we have access to him from anywhere, any time.

I recently google the world’s population. Did you realize there are over 8 billion people on earth? Now imagine for a moment if just ¼ of those people pray daily.

Listening to and honoring those prayers seem like an unimaginable workload, but God hears and is equipped to handle every utterance.

I want to encourage you…. don’t lose patience and know that because God's timing has not aligned with yours, it does not mean your prayer is out of his will.

God’s timing is orchestrated in a manner that considers the influence, impact, and inspiration your answered prayer will have beyond you.

In Romans 8:28, the scripture reads all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord.

God specializes in making things work together, look at all of His creation. Everything he created depends on something else to sustain its existence, depends on something else to reproduce or prove itself productive.

You may deem your prayers personal and exalted to accommodate your individual needs, desires, and mission.

Your prayers are under the masterful custodianship of God, as he coordinates how your answered prayer will bless, meet the need, encourage, and work together for good beyond you.

If we look at the story of Hannah in the Bible, we can see how God’s timing regarding answered prayers can impact beyond the individual exalting the prayer.

Hannah prayed for years that God would open her womb, and when He answered her prayer, she gave birth to Samuel, who was born at the right time to accomplish great things because of God's timing.

Samuel is represented in the Old Testament in every leadership role open to a Jewish man of his day priest, judge, prophet, and military leader.

Had he been born as an immediate answer to his mother’s prayer, his legacy would not have had the impact on generations at the magnitude it did.

Don’t stop praying. Don’t become discouraged.
