Think about a seed planted in the ground. The moment it enters the soil, growth begins. Nothing may be
visible above ground for days or weeks, but the process has already started. The unseen activity does not
mean nothing is happening.
Prayer often works the same way.
1The answer may already be moving.
The answer may already be provided.
The answer may already be present in seed form.
What appears to be delay may actually be development.
This is why believers must resist discouragement. Discouragement causes people to abandon their position
before the harvest arrives.
When prayers seem unanswered, do not immediately assume God is silent. Return to His Word. Strengthen
your faith. Guard your heart. Stay in fellowship with Him.
The issue may not be that God failed to answer.
The issue may be learning to recognize what He has already provided.
