Waiting

Are you anxious or frustrated your prayer seems to go unanswered?  Don’t lose heart.  Just because you do not yet see the answer to your prayers, does not mean God does not hear you.  Wait!  The Lord is working.  Waiting time is not wasting time.  Waiting time is time for God to mold us and strengthen us and deepen our relationship with Him.  God is at work.  Trust God!  God will see you through.  God is at work even though you might not be able to see it.  Hear again these encouraging words of the psalmist, David, who many times in his life experienced prolong periods of waiting on God’s plan and purpose:
 
(verse of the week) 
I would have lost heart unless I had believed
  That I would see the goodness of the Lord
 in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage,
  And He will strengthen your heart;
  Wait, I say, on the Lord.  Psalm 27.13,14 (NKJV)
 
(Prayer of the week)
Loving Great Shepherd, lead me beside the quiet waters, and help me to find the green pastures for quiet rest.  Let me lean into your love and grace.  Restore my soul.  Renew my mind.  May I feel your arms of love around me.  As I rest in you, and you restore my soul, help me to learn to reflect your love to others that they may see your image in me.  Amen.
 
Blessings –Pastor TJ
