1 John 5:3. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

If you've ever prayed to God, asking Him to answer a prayer request, you probably know it might take time for Him to respond. God provides His help at just the right time, but there lies a test in the period of waiting. 

What if His response was based on your obedience during the time of testing? 

All throughout the Bible God answered His people's prayers, but it took a time of testing before He delivered. Weeks, months, even years passed. God's answer to your request are blessings. God doesn't simply hand them out without knowing you will be responsible with His provisions.  Obedience always brings blessings. 

1 John 5:14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

What's on your prayer list? Are you living within His will for your life? Are you walking in obedience to what you know is right? If not, use this time of waiting to clean up areas of your life, restore that relationship with God, so the time of testing will prove you faithful to Him.
