Trusting God with No

In the chaos that we are living with today
it's more essential that we now constantly pray
we need consistent solitude time 
to talk to the Lord God 
for it has a way of giving comfort 
to our troubled hearts
praying is learning to trust in God our Creator
and understand that He may say no,
not now, but maybe later 
to accept and trust in God when He does say no 
and to comprehend there's a reason 
that you don't need to know

of course, we desire that God says yes 
to us all of the time 
because we don't think we shouldn't 
have to wait nor hold the line 
God may need to mature us 
so that we can develop to see 
that we might not be ready for that, 
which we asked of He

we need to learn to appreciate no 
and not comment 
and understand that we shouldn't operate 
with a sense of entitlement
to stop being spiritually arrogant
like we're doing God a favor
and learn some humility 
like Jesus, the Son our Savior. 

yes, we will have to wrestle with difficulties in life
but God's no may be spiritual protection 
to prevent us from certain strife 
by trusting God with no, you need to perceive 
that no might be the best response 
at that time for you to receive
God doesn't deny us to cause us any strain
His no might be that which keeps us 
from assured pain 

God's no may be a source of redirection 
because God operates with spiritual discretion 
and God won't always subtract you 
from that difficult situation
but He will give you the tools to better deal 
with any stipulations
so trust when God says no 
and come to ascertain 
He might not give you what you want
but his grace and mercy will never be abstained
