Why does God take so long to answer prayers?
God desires to spend time with you in prayer and fellowship. If the only time you ever go to the Lord is when you are desperate then you are motivating God to keep you in that desperate state. If you spend time in fellowship and prayer everyday then God has no reason to want you to be in a desperate situation. That is part of the problem. Here is the second part, we need to pray according to God’s will. Many of our prayers are fleshly and foolish. The safest way to pray is to pray God’s word. If you do that every day you will be in tune with God’s will. That is two thirds of the problem, but then the final piece is this. We need to have our spirit tuned to hear the Lord. Once we have the assurance that the Lord has heard our prayer then it is time to praise Him. Nothing glorifies the Lord like His children walking in faith, and faith that once the Lord has said a word that is it, it will be done, amen. The best way to tune your spirit to hear the Lord is to spend time every day in fellowship with Him. The Bible says to pray unceasingly! You don’t have to say your prayers out loud, God knows your heart. This means you are walking in an attitude of prayer all the day long. The easiest way to do this when you are a new believer is to spend time in the word. As you read the bible and meditate on it you are being adjusted to have an attitude of prayer. This will fill you with faith like filling flat tire with air. Then it is easy to praise and worship the lord as you can easily drive over little bumps in the road. If you do this you will see your prayers answered much quicker.
