Often, when we pray, we come to God with our own expectations—how, when, and what we want Him to do. This can lead to frustration and disappointment because God doesn’t always act according to our will; in fact, He seldom does. But our prayers shouldn’t depend on whether God meets our expectations. Instead, prayer is meant to draw us closer to Him, trusting that His plan—always better than ours—will unfold in His perfect timing.
