When God Says "No" ; Better Things From God

What if God says "No"? But why?

"God always answers our prayers, but sometimes the answer is no."
(~Author Unknown)

"Prayer may not change things for you, but it for sure changes you for things. "
(~Samuel M. Shoemaker)

Sometimes, what we prayed for is not answered as we expected, or not answered at all. In His time, God has better things to give for us...As we begin to ask something from God and wait for it, we develop an attitude of patience and humility. We need to appreciate how God changes our attitudes, not only when He grant us what we wish for. And also, let us thank God even when He says "no" to our prayers...God's "no" means that He has better things to give us, but we have to wait! And trust His perfect will for us!

The Lord will work out his plans for my life—for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
-Psalm 138:8 NLT-

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
-I Thessalonians 5:16-18 KJV-
