wait for an answer
When you ask me for something do you expect an answer? If you do not receive an answer do you assume that the answer is no? If you try to get an answer from your friends in response to some inquiry and get none, you may assume that they are not interested, but that is not the same as a definite negative answer. Paul made a definite request of me three times, and I gave him a definite answer. I told him that my grace was sufficient for him. This was a definite negative answer to his prayer, but it was still full of divine wisdom and redemptive grace. I am capable of saying ‘no’, or ‘wait’, but it furthers my transforming work in your life for you to keep listening until you get an answer from me.
