       Now for the final area of discussion. In Colossians 4, prayer was talked about at length. It does seem like a lot of prayer goes unanswered. Is there anything further that can be said in regard to this? Several things can be noted here. First, it has probably been heard before, and it’s something a lot of people don’t want to hear, is that often there is a time delay from the day we ask God to do something to the day it actually happens. We, in our American mindsets, wish for everything to happen very quickly. So, oftentimes from the day we pray to the day it actually happens, we may not even see a connection because we might have stopped praying in between. Remember in Daniel 10, when Daniel prayed, God answered it on the first asking, but it took 21 days for the answer to manifest itself. That, truth be told, isn’t a real long time.
