Denied or
Delayed?
God’s delays aren’t always
denials. Learn how to distringuish between a prayer that
is delayed versus being on
the wrong path.

Answering the “why”
of waiting in prayer
By Chris Benton

A

lways remember that
God’s delays are not
always his denials!
Your failures may be
a part of God’s plans in order
to raise you higher in life. God
knows what he needs you to go
through in order to accomplish
through you what he intends to
accomplish.
God is pruning you for something
great. Sometimes we may even
try and move forward before God
says go and that gets us into so
much trouble too. Many people
believe that failure is proof that
God doesn’t want them to have
what they thought but that is far
from the truth. many times failure is just a stepping stone to
your purpose as I will show in
this article!
Your failure isn’t God’s failure.
He can take your failure and turn
it into something magnificent.
Only God can turn your test into
a testimony that changes lives
forever! God can work in and
through you from your failure if
you allow him to change your
heart in the failure. God can
change how you see failure.
