Does God get backlogged?

Sometimes when we want to do something, the person who can help us is "backed up".You go to a car maintenance/repair shop and they tell you, we're "backed up" we can't fit you in for a few hours.Or we, ourselves,sometimes don't "get to" things because we're "overloaded."So now, when I have prayer requests, usually after giving one prayer request, another problem soon pops up, so I have to plea for that one, too. After that, another,etc. So I notice that, in order of how I requested them, maybe a few months later a request from the past is answered, but I still have the most recent problem.So while most Christians would say, well, it's on Gods time and not ours,{easy for them to say, they're not the one in the problem},I wonder if, instead of "in Gods time",maybe it's that God is "backlogged",that He can't get to my "most recent" request yet.Maybe "in Gods time" means WHEN HE HAS TIME.Is the reason I'm waiting actually because God is "backlogged", and can't fit me in at the moment? Just thinking,because the fact that the prayer requests from a while ago get answered, and the current ones, it seems I'm on a "waiting list."

God doesn't get backlogged Steven, God is very capable of answering many many prayers at the same time! Most of our answers to our prayers are found in the Bible and in what we do for God. Do we argue with God or do we blindly do what He instructs us to do? Do we argue with those Jesus sends to us or do we listen to them and pray about it first?

If that was the reason, then how come some still get answered?Some problems are solved quicker than others,yet my outlook is the same. Are some problems harder for God to solve than others?

 

[Brother James]

No problem is hard for God to solve! There are consequences listed all throughout the Bible for our actions and those consequences of blessings or curses are hunting for us! Prayers and our willingness to do God's instructions can change whether we have blessings or curses overtaking us

 

[Inquisitive angel HYS]

I prayed for this In Jesus Name~Amen~God bless you!

Isaiah 45:9
9 “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker,
those who are nothing but potsherds
among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,
‘What are you making?’
Does your work say,
‘The potter has no hands’?

1) YES
2) WAIT
3) NO

The answer is one of these. Many times we are unwilling or unable to see and accept God's response.
John 5:14 says, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us." ...

Even David, a man after God's own heart, faced the same fears. And on several occasions God responded with each one of the above.

For instance,
WAIT was what he was told while on the run from Saul and other enemies for about 20 years after being anointed as King by Samuel.
YES to the slaying of Goliath as it was done in faith for God's glory.
NO to healing of the son born, from the union with Bathsheba whose husband he effectively had killed.

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob..Our God, is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and Omnipresent (present everywhere-even in the past future and present). So if we believe this, then there is no way he can be backlogged, overwhelmed, surprised or caught off-guard by anything, let alone the prayers of his children. It's by His Mercy and Grace that we are saved, God doesn't owe us anything.

Romans 9:20–21
"But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?"

It's when we come to realise this, that deliverance comes.
Listen for the still small voice, and obey.

1 Chronicles 5:20
"They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him."

There are those of us who are masochists who like when things don't go their way, and others who don't.

Psalm 12:6
6 And the words of the Lord are flawless,
like silver purified in a crucible,
like gold refined seven times.

 

[Brother James]

There are those of us who are masochists who like when things don't go their way, and others who don't.

Do you really think it is profitable for you to come here speaking that we are masochists who believe and follow Jesus' teachings and ask us to pray for you?
