----God, Answer Me, Now !
--"[Psalm 6]

--"Away from Me, all you who do evil, for the LORD has heard my weeping." --[Psalm 6:8]

---Theresa left Sue a message, saying she had great news. Sue was sure the news was that her friend had received Jesus as Savior. After all, she had been praying for Theresa's salvation for thirty years.

A few days later, Theresa revealed very different "great news" ; She had a new boyfriend and was moving in with him Sue cried out in desperation, "Lord, what makes me think you would answer me after thirty ears of praying!"

Some of our hardest struggles are those deep desires that go unmet. The psalmist David could relate. He cried, "Have merry on me, Lord...My soul is in deep anguish. How long, LORD, how long? (Psalm 6:2-3) Later in the psalm, we read that David knew the Lord had heard him v.(9).

A month after Theresa's "great news," she called and left another message: "I have wonderful new! I trusted Jesus as my Savior! I don't know why I didn't do it long ago." Thirty years of prayer paid off.

Keep praying. In His time, God will answer. ~
