Delayed Prayers

I believe delayed answers to prayer gain interest. A prayer answered after a long wait may bring greater blessings or rewards, much like money accruing interest over time.

Patience in waiting for God’s response is seen as a virtue that can yield deeper faith, wisdom, or unexpected outcomes.

Biblical accounts like Abraham and Sarah waiting for a child or Job enduring trials illustrate how delays in answered prayers can lead to greater spiritual growth or divine fulfillment.

The “interest” could symbolize added blessings, such as strengthened character, renewed perspectives, or even a more profound appreciation for the eventual answer.

As a child, I often wondered why God wasn’t answering my cries for help. I did not understand that waiting for divine intervention or relief might lead to greater spiritual or tangible outcomes. Even though the things I went through were profoundly challenging. The interest I have gained has immensely blessed my life. I am a strong woman, I can stay calm in dire situations. The healing and unexpected blessings throughout my journey have given me the opportunity for growth by learning to trust and understand God’s plan for my life. It has given me a deeper compassion, resilience, and purpose in life.

God’s delay in answering prayers is beyond human comprehension. I don’t believe God is absent, but the resolution unfolds in ways not immediately visible. It could lead to spiritual growth and unforeseen blessings.
