We need to remember that God is always on time! God is never early and never late! This is seen in John 11, when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus' sisters wanted Jesus to come to heal their sick brother, but Jesus did not go immediately. When Jesus did arrive, there were those who thought Jesus was too late because He came after Lazarus had died and not before, and there were those who murmured about the Lord, but Jesus was on time according to His Sovereign purposes, and they witnessed something greater than they would have ever expected. The Lord works by His timing not man's timing, and this is important to understand.
Just like when the sisters of Lazarus sent word to Jesus about their brother's sickness, and Jesus did not do what they wanted, when we (Christians) pray to our Lord and it does not go the way we expected or wanted, always remember God has sovereign purposes in life, and it is not because He is not able (Jesus did more than heal him, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead), and it does not mean He does not love you (Jesus loved Lazarus and his sisters). God uses the means of prayer, and is essential for a believer to pray. It is essential not only for dependance on God, but also development by God and delight with God.
He is God. God is faithful and true, and the Bible says, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 kjv)
