God does not delay in answering our prayers.

"The Lord will not delay."   (Sirach 35: 22 RM)

The Lord will not delay to respond to the prayer of the lowly.  (Cf Psalm 34: 7) For He always hears the cry of the poor.

Do you ever feel the Lord delays answer to your prayers?  Me too.  We read in many places in the Bible that the Lord does not delay to answer us.  (2 Peter 3 : 9)

How do we deal with the frustration of God's delay to answer our prayers?  Consider the following points:

#1.  Are you praying with faith?  (Mark 11: 24, James 1: 6-7)
#2. Do you harbor unforgiveness?  It will be a miracle if any of your prayers is answered with a spirit of unforgiveness in your heart.  (Mark 11: 25)
#3.  Are you praying in accordance with God's will?  (Luke 11 :13; James 4: 3)
#4.  When you pray, are you humble before God?  (Luke 18: 13 - 14)
#5.  Do you pray once and then give up?  Persistence is a fundamental law of prayer.  (Luke 18: 7-8)

Keep praying.  God is faithful and bigger than whatever you ask Him.  God Never Fails!
