And So We Wait

Do you ever feel like you pray and pray and pray for something, but never get an answer?  Do you feel that the Lord just isn’t hearing you?  I definitely feel that way from time to time.  It’s hard for some of us to be patient, period, but it’s especially hard to be patient with God.  Why is that?  There are many reasons as to why it can be super difficult to be patient with him.  I often get impatient with God, because I want answers right then.  I want to see something good.  In other words, I want it my way, right away.  Well guess what…that’s not how our God works.  Everything is done in his timing.  I’m sure most of you have heard that over and over, but it is true.  Everything is done is his timing, because he ALWAYS has our best interest in mind.  Sometimes, he may answer your prayers right away, while other times you have to wait awhile.  He may never even make the answer to your prayer known to you.  The reason for all of this is so that you may live the life he wants for you.  So, whether you get the answers you want, don’t want, or no answers at all, God promises that you will see the good in life, as long as you’re focusing on him.  Take comfort and find peace in the abundant life God has given you!

I remain confident of this: I WILL SEE THE GOODNESS of the Lord in the land of the living.  WAIT for the Lord; be strong and take heart and WAIT for the Lord.
