How We Pray Determines How God Will Answer.
When we pray to God, and thereby, petition him, it is not
within our judgment to analyze how or when,
he should grant our request, or to use our knowledge, to interject our
opinion on the subject matter, that we are petitioning him about, when we are
praying. Neither should we listen to others who are giving their opinions.
We must stay steadfast in prayer and focus on the fact that, God is supernatural, and with him all things are possible.

Gabriel said, “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
St. Luke 1:37
In the case of Zacharias; he had been praying for a child.
When God was prepared to grant his request, he used his knowledge to interject
his opinion, which was irrelevant. And found out that this is a defiant act
with God. And there is punishment that will follow. Zacharias, didn’t believe
that God was qualified to give him a child at the time God had chosen to do so.
Like most people, if the answer doesn’t come in the time
they want it to, they give up. This is what Zacharias, had done. His mind
wasn’t allowing him to look beyond the human’s educational process, and see the
supernatural powers that God possesses.
Because he doubted God, he was punished. God took away his speech. (St. Luke 1:21-25 & 57-64)
Scripture: James 1:67
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that
wavereth is like the wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let
not that man (person) think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.
