Waiting

How many times you wanted to give up, throw in the towel? It seemed as though no matter how much you prayed things weren’t happening for you. Did you fail God? Or is it that you wasn’t doing enough. Or, how about that time that stranger asked for your help and you just turned away? We beat ourselves up wondering what we are doing wrong into why God is “not” answering our prayers the way we want. But, what if he is saying, “be still, do nothing. I have heard you and I am taking care of it.” Are we truly listening when we pray? Or we just looking for results? By praying and then watching, looking for immediate results will have you confused, and just down and out. When we pray we should wait and listen for the answer. Stay in standby, never ceasing in prayer. You have to always have faith that what you are praying for will be answered in God’s perfect way. Not our way, but his. If you want things to happen in your way then don’t involve him. It shows that even though you are asking for his help you don’t trust his perfect plan when you are angry with the outcome. God is a good God and he created you. So trust that he know Exactly what you need.

Lord, I come to you today with faith that you are doing exactly what needs to be done in my life. I will stay still until you tell me to move. I’m not always strong, so I will need your strength in my waiting. I trust you Lord and I know that your will shall be done. Amen.
