Right Timing - Unanswered Prayers

Ecclesiastes 3:7
"...a time to be silent and a time to speak,"

Picking the right time is crucial. There is a certain time when a parent should correct the child. Don't do it in public because it will only embarrass the child and it will not learn from being so distracted by everyone staring at them. As a child, we wait until the proper time to ask for permission or to tell mom and dad that we got a lower grade on something. The majestic way God has created our brains.

Yet we have this crazy expectation that God has to answer our prayers immediately. Key things to remember 1. We are created in HIS image 2. He gave us this sense to be able to distinguish when/where certain things or conversations should take place.

Know that he has a plan, he is in control. He knows when the best time to let us know or experience something is. And he knows when to be silent.
