Still waiting for God to say "Yes?"

Even the most faithful Christians can get discouraged in prayer.  It can be dishearting when you have your heart set on something, pray hard for it, but the hoped for result doesn't happen.  It is important to remember that God hears you and he always answers prayer.  He loves you more than you can imagine and wants the best for you.  In fact, he knows what you need better than you do.

Answers to prayer usually fall into one of three responses:

1. Yes
2. Not right now
3. I have a better idea

The best approach is to make your request, trust him to do the right thing, and then look for his answer.  Try not to get set on any one answer.

Perhaps God wants you to wait to increase your appreciation or because he doesn't think you are ready yet.
Perhaps he has something better in mind. 
Whatever the answer --- and there is always an answer --- remember that it comes from his incredible and personal love.
