The Canaanite woman came to Christ and asked for help but the Lord didn’t answer her a word. Lamentations 3:8 – though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer; – Which means there is silence. Don’t take silence as a no, take silence as a test of your faith and let your faith rule the day. The waiting period is a time of testing. If you will wait on the Lord and there is silence, it always proceeds blessing for God’s faithfulness is at stake.
Man typically has his own deadline and if God doesn’t act in man’s time-line then he will act and do it his own way, this is not waiting on the Lord.
