Nothing tries our faith like waiting on god

[Emilia]

There are moments in our lives that - the wait seems to last forever. The key to waiting is not the length of time but how we handle the wait. There are three actions that will help you wait on the lord: 1. Trust
2. Resist and 3. Pray.

With this we build intimacy and dependency with god. Transforms our character inside out. Builds patience in our lives and reveals our true motives - [for instance were you doing the right thing for the wrong reasons].

Isaiah 40.31: But those who wait on the lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings as eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

I would like to share this beautiful prayer sent to me today:

A Prayer While Waiting on God
Dear Father,
As my Creator, you know me
Even better than I know myself.
Patience doesn’t come easy for me,
As if I have to tell you that.
God, I’m so sorry
For rushing ahead
When your hand hasn’t opened the door.
I’m sorry for complaining of boredom
When being still is much more
Than sitting quietly.
You shape my spirit through the still
And you mold my heart in the quiet.
Only then, am I ready to follow your will.
Will you change my perspective of this season?
Will you rekindle my love anew?
For I know the wait is not without reason;
May it draw me closer to you.
Amen
