Proverbs 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
This is so true. We pray for something earnestly, again and again, maybe for days and maybe for years, but It is not granted. We feel sick with disappointment and lose hope, gain fear and lose trust in God.
What could be worse than the situation of Job? Yet He never gave up on God. People mocked him, wife scorned Him, yet he was faithful.
When we are in a situation when our hope is deferred, remember Job. God sees the whole picture while we can see only our piece. Scripture tells us that God has a plan for us. It is up to us to remain faithful, knowing that our lives will fit perfectly into God’s picture.

But that maybe a mistake, because God acts in His own time, in His own wisdom. So, we have to abide by that and trust Him, so has hitherto been with us.
