Yes, No, And Wait! (John Wimber)

Sometimes, I get it so fixed in my mind how I want it to work out, that I donā€™t think itā€™s an answer to prayer until itā€™s worked out that way.

Yes, No, And Wait!

“Sometimes, I get it so fixed in my mind how I want it to work out, that I donā€™t think itā€™s an answer to prayer until itā€™s worked out that way. Occasionally, Iā€™ve realized that God already answered me, but because he didnā€™t do it the way I asked him to do it, I didnā€™t think he answered at all. One of the things Iā€™ve had to learn in walking out an intimate prayer life is to recognize Godā€™s answers, whether, ā€œYes,ā€ ā€œNo,ā€ or ā€œWait!ā€

There are times in my life Iā€™ve had to go to God and Iā€™ve said, ā€œLord, just be merciful to me. Do something I donā€™t deserve. Do something beyond anything I could possibly dream of, or even ask for. Do something, Lord, I need your help.ā€ God answers those prayers.”
