Jesus waited to respond when he heard his friend was sick (read John 11).

Sometimes Jesus waits to respond to our prayers. That’s why we’re told, “Keep on asking” (Matthew 7:7).

In the end, God’s glory will be revealed and people will see that Jesus is the resurrection and the life.

You should know this if you ask God for things

When Jesus spoke to people about praying, he used the Greek word aetio (to ask). “Ask and it will be given to you (Matthew 7:7).”

Aetio suggests the attitude of a suppliant, the petition of one who is lesser in position than the one to whom he prays.*
