When we're waiting on God, it may seem like our prayers are going unanswered. That's why it's important that when you're waiting on God, you pray fervently. Also, make sure your prayer is to the glory of God. One of the most important questions we face in prayer is whether our appeal is for our own selfish interest, pride or attainment, or whether it is really to the glory of God? Answers to prayer are supposed to honor God and bring glory to Him. This is one of the main reasons we offer prayer in the name of Christ. Jesus assured His disciples that if they remained in Him and His words remained in them, whatever they asked would be given to them. Prayer that is offered in the name of Christ and to the glory of Christ is prayer that God can answer.
