What's Between Ask and Receive?

If you have been a Christian for any amount of time, then you are probably familiar with Jesus' words, "Ask, and you will receive..."

God may have some areas in your life where he needs to bring growth before he brings the answer; or he may have many things to coordinate in order to answer your prayer.
