2 Corinthians 1:18-20 KJV
But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
I liked this thought; God has no "nay" promises. The promises of God are all "yea." That doesn't mean that everything I want from God I get from God. It means that everything God has promised in His word is sure. It is flawless. It will not fail to come to pass.
Some of those promises may take a huge amount of time (so far as we count time) to come to pass.
Noah and the flood
Abraham and Isaac
Moses and deliverance of Israel
David and his kingdom
The Messiah and His advent
Christ and His second coming
But God's promises are all yea. We can trust in them. We can live for them. We can place all our hopes in them.
