God Is Showing Us Something

Sometimes God is making us wait and asking us to be persistent in prayer because that persistent prayer shows that we’re serious and sincere about what we’re requesting. You say, “Doesn’t God know before we even ask if we’re really serious and sincere about what we’re requesting?” Yes, He does.  It’s not to show God that we’re really serious and sincere about it, it’s to show us.

We can be serious, sincere and persistent in prayer but we also have to remember that sometimes what we want or think we need just isn't in God's plan. Accepting that is, I think, an important part of prayer. Not understanding that can lead to very deep frustration.
