Patience During Waiting

In today’s world we are accustomed to automation and same delivery. Anything we need to know is readily available through our smart phones. We are surrounded by different stores, medical facilities and repair shops. This leaves little time for us to wait for things that we want!

Do you ever wish that something you prayed for would come to fruition as quickly as your Amazon Prime packages are delivered? I know I do. No matter what you are praying for: community, a new business opportunity, a spouse, or circumstances to change- the Lord hears you and he loves you.

Romans 8:25 says “But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” The Lord is with us in our waiting. He hears our cries and knows the desires of our hearts. In the waiting, through faith, we can have confidence that he will provide for us. His provision may not look how we thought it would, but a perfect God will not let us down. My hope is that while you wait for answered prayers, you can draw near to God and feel the peace that His nearness provides in the midst of your uncertainty.
