With prayer, answers may not some soon. Sometimes we need to give God time to answer. It takes time for God to grow a tree… We just need a little faith…

The Divine nature
Everytime we obey, we receive into our natures a little more Divine nature. “If ye shall indeed obey my voice, ye shall be a holy nation unto Me.” Exodus 19:6 This reminds me of the verse 2 Peter 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
Faith and Prayer…
In that great faith chapter of Hebrews 11, the writer says: 39 And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. So what is faith? Faith adds its “yes” to what God has already spoken. Faith lets God finish the work that He started. Faith says “I believe” and patiently waits for God to do His part.
Just by Faith…
Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being encircled for seven days.
Amen!
Hearing His Word
Luke 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word.
42 “But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
So what is that good part? The good part is hearing the words of Jesus and following Him. Notice that Mary was not just serving she was cooperating with Jesus in his ministry.
Brought You Unto Myself.
Exodus 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto myself.
Sometimes we cannot pray and God just brings us to Himself.
Follow Jesus
Luke 4:36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.”
Luke 5:5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”
The theme is simple “Follow Jesus”, He, that is Jesus, has the power and He knows where the fish are. So don’t follow someone or something else, just follow Jesus.
Challenge your Mountain in the Lord
Elijah used this prayer when he stopped the rain from heaven and started it again after three and one half years.
The Lord Jesus teaches us to speak to the mountain. Look at these passages:
Matthew 17:20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
Matthew 21:21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.
Mark 11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
So when the Lord gives us a mountain He wants us to speak to it. Let me say it another way. When we encounter some difficult thing in life, the Lord wants us to speak to the thing. How do you pray or speak then it seems impossible and one can only see in faith that God can do something.
