How does God's timing affect our prayers?

The sermon emphasizes that while we may cry out to God and feel as though He is distant, it is crucial to understand that God is attentive to our prayers. However, His timing and methods are not always aligned with our desires; we must cultivate patience and trust that He knows best. This idea is reinforced by David's experiences, where his prayers were met with silence, yet he learned that God’s delay does not equate to abandonment. Instead, it is a call to persistent prayer, reminding us that God waits to be gracious and lovingly responds in accordance with His sovereign will.
