I think that the problem for most of us is
I (we) want the connection in my (our) timing
I think that God does all if sincerely asked -- but -- in His timing
I remember those days years ago when it looked like I may have cancer
I cried out to God for days on end
then when I least expected it
I knew that God was with me all the way
