The Master Key

Someone has said, "Prayer is the master key that opens all doors."

When the "key" doesn't seem to work, it is not because the key is defective. Rather, it is because the timing is not right or the door through which one intends to go is not right.

The GOD to whom you pray cares more about you than to allow you to enter an area that is not right for you. The LORD who loves you and has authorized you to use HIS OWN NAME in prayer will not answer a prayer that would result in your ultimate disappointment.

Consider, for example the child who insists he have candy before dinner. A wise and loving parent will not permit a willful child to ruin his appetite for the well-balanced meal that is being prepared for him by granting him permission to eat an unhealthy snack.

So, your loving HEAVENLY FATHER will not grant to you a petition you ask of HIM if HE in HIS infinite wisdom knows it would be your undoing. Rather, HE will require you to await a better time for or a better outcome to your prayer before HE grants your request.

The believer must have such complete trust in the HOLY ONE before whom he lays his petitions to know that even when the answer appears to be "NO," the LORD is working in the behalf of HIS child and bringing all things into compliance for the fulfillment of HIS promise that "all things work together for good" to those who love and trust HIM.
