There are several reasons. To increase our faith in Elohim, to refine our patience, to allow Elohim time to work in our the lives and in the lives of those around us and to work out the perfect and blessed plans that he has for us, which are better than anything we could have hoped for or imagined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes it takes time for his perfect plan to be worked out in our lives. He has to bring everything together, so that we may be conformed to the image of Yeshua (Rom 8:L28\u201329), so that we will be the kind of person that will manage the gift of eternal life wisely and in a non-destructive manner. Additionally, YHVH wants to form and shape us into the kind of person with which he will be pleased to spend eternity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the big picture reasons why Elohim allows us to go through the trials and difficulties of life and why we don\u2019t always receive immediate answers to our prayer requests. Sometimes our having to wait on YHVH is good spiritual medicine for us, and it\u2019s is so much more than just having our desires, dreams and plans fulfilled in this physical lifetime here and now on this earth!<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Waiting on YHVH is good.
