I remember a priest telling me that God was not answering me because I was conducting a monologue rather than a dialog with Him.
That wasn't very kind of him, even if it was the truth. God doesn't always answer us the way we want.
When God answers me He answers me with blessings in very odd but wonderful ways...unexpected.
The priest actually said it in a very nice way and taught me to listen. Sure it's in God's time. One of my lifelong battles has been with patience. Not my strong suit.
