God's delays are not necessarily denials. He has reasons for His not yets.
Sometimes God delays:
1. In order to test our faith. Trust Him even if we don't see immediate results.
2. So that we can modify our requests to make it more inline with His will.
3. So that we can develop character qualities such as endurance, trust, patience, and submission - qualities that come only when we wait patiently and trust His timing.
We may not be able to see the reasons for the delay, but that isn't surprising. We are the creatures; God is the Creator. He knows what timing is best.
When the results are in, God's wisdom is clear, and I am glad I waited patiently for it to be revealed.
