God answers prayers in various ways, reflecting His wisdom and understanding of what is best for us. According to Christian teachings, God’s responses can be categorized into a few main types:
Yes: God grants the request, as seen in the story of Hannah, who prayed for a child and was granted her wish (1 Samuel 1:1-20).
No: God denies the request because it is not in His will for us, as illustrated by Jesus’ decision to delay healing Lazarus, resulting in a greater miracle (John 11:1-44).
Wait: God delays the answer, often because His timing is better than ours. This teaches patience and trust in His plan (Romans 8:25).
