How Long Is Too Long?

This is the question that many believers struggle with today.  When you follow Jesus you have Faith and Hope, so usually you are believing for something.  You could be believing for un-saved loved ones, a broken marriage, rebellious children, finances, etc.  How long have you been believing God?  How long have you been praying?  Have you stopped praying? Have you lost faith?  As you know that being a Christian, you understand that it is a DAILY walk.  We are to only focus on one day at a time.  So why do we look at things in "our" time?  We think in our minds that God needs to do something in days/months/and years.  Are you still believing God for what you are praying about?  Have you put God on a time limit, that if he doesn't answer your specific prayer then you are done with him?  These are questions that you need to answer honestly and see where your heart is at.

Here is an interesting thing to mediate on for awhile.  Ask yourself this:  If God told you ahead of time that you wouldn't get your prayer answered until the year 2020 would you still seek him??  I honestly feel that many would have the mindset of "What is the point that is 6 years away."  This is why God wants us to DAILY walk with him and trust him.  We need to remember that he doesn't owe us answers.  He is God of the Universe and All Mighty.  We need to remember that he doesn't need our help, he is able to do handle things on his own.

I pray that this post speaks to you and gives you hope to keep seeking God and to keep believing God.  Without faith it is impossible to please him.  We are able to trust God when we don't see the results if we remember that there is a Spiritual Battle going on.  In Ephesians 6:12 it talks about what we are in war against.

We  need to picture that when we pray to God there is a Heavenly Battle in the Realms that we do not see.  There are angels and demons fighting against each other and Satan is doing any and everything to keep you from praying because he knows how important prayers are.  We need to pray stronger and harder because we understand there is a war going on.  We are in a battle and we need to fight for our prayers to get answered.  We need to intercede for others and stand strong for the weak.  When you see someone struggling, pray with them right then and there.  Do not do what the world does and say "I will keep you in my thoughts."  This to me makes no sense.  I don't want to be in someone's thoughts, I want someone to be in agreement with me and to pray with me to God of the Universe so angels go to work. Angels move on our prayers.

So let me ask you again..... How Long Is Too Long?  The answer is: As long as you are STILL Alive and Breathing, there is still hope, so keep praying and believing God
