In God's time

Today after church I noticed that, in general, it's the same people that always are crying and needing prayer. I asked my wife, "Why doesn't God just fix their situation so they don't have to be miserable all the time?"

"Why has it taken so long for God to fix your relationship with your stepdad?" she replied. "Don't ask me. I'm not God -- ask him."

So I did. Here was his response:

I fix things in my time, not your time.

Fair enough. God has a plan, and his timing is always perfect.
