The bible says "Be still, and know that I am God"(Psalm46:10). It is our human nature when somethin happens in our life to take action, make a move do something. Often times it is much better to wait and just be still. The answers we need will come. His answer maybe yes or it maybe no. Or it could be wait.God will always answer our prayers in His way and in His will for us. Lets face it, God does know best for all of us. Rest assured He will not let us down in our time of need.

2-Has there ever been a time that it was difficult for you to accept God's answer to your prayer?

3-How can you become more patient in your prayer life?
