Asking for it to happen soon?

[DaneClark]

When praying, is it alright to say something like “If this is your will, then please let it happen soon”? I am trying to be patient, and I know it’s not right to demand to God that he give you things immediately. I am asking for him to give it soon so that I finally know the answer for sure, and because I feel that I really need it at this point in my life, and because that it would give me a feeling of peace. I know he won’t let me down. What I mean is, is it wrong to ask for it to happen soon so that you can have a sense a peace?

Unless you become as little children…

What do little kids do? Daddy, daddy, daddy!!! Please! Now! Please! Now!

No problem.

We can ask the Lord whatever we like. Have you considered that his answer might be no.

Hi Dane. I know what you mean by asking God to let something happen soon. I have been waiting for my award letter to come from my SSI for some time now and I keep getting more and more impatient. I am not saying that you are being impatient by the way. I’m just saying that I know how it feels. You are not alone.

It is okay to ask the Lord for something, and to ask for it soon…but, if you don’t get it soon, can you trust Him nevertheless? The Lord loves us infinitely, and wants us to grow in grace. Not getting something you want very soon can be a test of your faith. Keep trusting Him, you can’t go wrong with that. He knows what is best for us.

**Betsy,

My beautiful sister in Jesus Christ!

We all want it now! Time is an illusion!!!

We all must see the perfect “eternal horizon” as Papa Benedictus XVI has shown us.**

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora Pro Nobis Peccatoribus!

You are free to ask for something now, and God is free to respond as He wants. He might indeed answer that prayer in the affirmative. God bless your prayer life .

You’re not alone in feeling this way! The hardest thing is waiting for something to happen. I myself am waiting for a reassurance of something and it is EXTREMELY difficult. Just pray and** have faith **and I am sure that everything will work out for you I’ll be praying for you.

God Bless!

Would it be alright to, for example, say that you would like something to happen before this summer, and explain to him why you believe that having it happen soon would be best? Of course I understand that no one knows what’s best better than he does, and I can’t to have things when I want them, but I also explain to him that I trust him and that I am expecting to have my answer any day now.

Yeah it’s ok dear friend. God is your Dad and you His little child. But remember God sees your whole eternity right now and He knows what is best always and does it even if we don’t understand it or think it’s the best. Sometimes God does exactly what we want of course. But if you really want something pester Dad a lot. But in the end accept His answer.

We will get a real big shock at how much God did for us in this life when we die. And how little we actually did or even how much we could do. Your prayer to God cannot even be made unless the Holy Spirit helps you and does the prayer for you.

We will get quite a shock when struck with the ultimate reality of all at the last day too. It’s often hard but we all have to try very hard to completely trust God. If God does one thing we don’t need He could send us to hell in the end. He could start a chain reaction for us. It’s true. When you think how we can do nothing, but more than that we can only do evil and it is God doing all the good for us it’s wise, very wise to let God do His will in us and through us. Left to ourselves we’ll end up in hell for sure.

But we are little children and it’s normal to pester Dad for things. Just trust Him though.

God bless you and pray for me please:thumbsup:
