Despite our attempts to coerce the creator of the universe to give us what we want when we want it (now don't get like that, you know you've tried to convince God that your problems need more immediate answers than the next guy), patience is something we all could use. Patience and perspective.
Waiting patiently for God to answer your prayer is a choice.
You must choose to believe that God has it all under control and is faithful to hear and answer prayer.
You must choose to trust that He will answer your prayer with the best possible answer for your best possible good and ultimately to bring glory to Him.
You must choose to believe that God's timing is perfect. Not your timing, not my timing, not the bill collector's or the doctor's timing - God's timing is always perfect.
Waiting on God and trusting He will answer your prayers glorifies Him and shows that we have faith that He is who we know him to be - our Savior, our Provider, our Shelter, our Master, our Lord; the author and perfecter of our faith. The ONE that we put all of our hopes and dreams and trust into. The ONE that will never leave us nor foresake us. The ONE who paid the ultimate price so that we may live a life filled with joy and expectancy.
So, when you feel like you are at the end of your rope and you can't do any more, realize that God is right below you with His hands wide open just waiting for you to let go and let Him take care of you.
God bless!
