Waiting……No one really enjoys these moments to be honest.

We all have stories we can share or relate to, I can imagine. We pray and we fast, hoping that whatever it may be, that it not take too long. That new thing we been praying about often has us searching. Being honest we most often search for the shortest route, the fastest route, and even the easiest route, that we think no one could know or even think about. We want the path leading us to our new thing that will only have us endure the least battle or fight. BUT GOD…knows why or why not, how, and how long. We may not understand why HE is bringing us through a longer rougher route. It may seem like everything we been praying about was never even heard, but HE knows this is the route we need to build our faith and trust in HIM for what lies ahead. It may seem like we may have been praying and fasting for so long and have yet to see any evidence of any new thing. Whatever that new thing is that HE is holding and waiting for that right time…HIS time, is HIS to reveal. It may look hard, it may hurt some but “the wait” was never said to be easy, only that it would be worth it. It is worth it to be able to experience and see the Glory of God bring to life what you once thought was dead. We read in the bible of many that had to be in a season of waiting to receive their promises with most having to wait year after year and I can imagine a few are popping in your head now. They weren’t alone and neither are we, the same God that got them through is getting you through. Be confident, patient, strong, courageous, and stay focused and don’t rush the wait.

Psalm 27:13-14 - 13 Yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living. 14 Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.
