Psalms 5:1-3 NLT
1) O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning.
2) Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you.
3) Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
If you’ve been praying and nothing seems to be happening, consider these explanations offered by Bill Hybels in a sermon many years ago:
If the request is wrong, God will say “No” to your request.
If the timing is wrong, God may say “Slow,” go slow; wait.
If you are wrong—a distinct possibility for some of us—if something is amiss in your life, or we simply aren’t ready for what we’re asking for, God may say, “You need to grow.”
But if the request is right and the timing is right and you are right, chances are God will say, “Let’s go,” and grant the request.
