Why Your Blessings Delay Even Though You Pray Hard — This One Habit Might Be Blocking You
You fast.
You pray.
You even try to live right.
Yet, the doors stay shut.
And while you’re still waiting, others with half the effort seem to move forward with ease.
Painful, isn’t it?
But according to NewsVista insights, the delay may not be spiritual warfare or unanswered prayer. It could be something hiding in plain sight — your own words.
The habit? Murmuring.
Yes — the quiet complaints you whisper when nothing seems to work:
“God, why always me?”
“I’ve done everything, but nothing’s changing.”
In the spirit realm, that’s not harmless venting — it’s a roadblock.
📖 Numbers 14:27 makes it clear: God heard Israel’s constant murmuring and called it evil. Not sadness. Not frustration. Evil.
And it cost them 40 years of delay.
Here’s why murmuring delays blessings:
-
It signals doubt in God’s process
-
It opens the door for spiritual resistance
-
It speaks defeat after you’ve prayed for victory
-
It confuses your spiritual atmosphere
You pray, “God, bless me this month,”
Then later say, “Nothing ever works for me.”
That contradiction short-circuits the blessing.
What to do instead:
-
Worship, even when confused: “Lord, I trust You.”
-
Watch your words after prayer. Speak like it’s already done.
-
Repent and cancel negative declarations.
Say:
“Lord, I cancel every word of complaint I’ve spoken. Let my words now align with Your promise.”
Final Word:
You’re not cursed.
You’re not invisible to heaven.
But maybe your mouth is closing doors your prayers are trying to open.
