Faith is seeing God's providence when He says yes and seeing His love when He says no. You see, it takes a lot of love on the part of God to say no to you. Why? Because He risks your love; He risks your faith in Him; He risks your hope in Him. If you are asking for something and it isn't for your good, His love will say no. But if you are asking for something that will bring about good, His providence moves events in your favor and the Lord allows it.
Taken from the Little Book of Life Lessons by Mother Angelica...
So before you pray for something you want, be ready for God's answer...Whether in your favor or God's keep your faith in tact and remember to live in the present moment. Don't look back, because in order to look back you have to stop moving forward.
So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as He told me. (Acts 27:25)
