**Seems to not be of much good these days!**
Sorry to hear you say that.
God has three answers — always!
Yes, No, and not now.
Perhaps you are getting the not now message and really God is asking you to look inward and see what needs to be improved in your own life during Lent.
Nice reply... but there are things and actions that are Gods and there are actions of Man. Not always sure where the line is but do know that the line is there... Yes, we can always prepare, but sometimes things surprise us...
