Have you ever prayed and it felt like your prayer went straight to the spam folder?

Like, “Lord, please help me with this job—” and Heaven said, “Thank you for your message. The Lord will respond in 3–5 business years.”

But here’s the truth: delay is not denial.

And God’s silence does NOT mean He’s inactive.

Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31

Good things take time… great things take God.
