“I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.”-Psalm 40:1-3
Sometimes, “waiting patiently for the Lord” is hard, but it is important. Just because God has not answered a prayer yet, does not mean that He won’t.
Above all else, God loves us! And so He wants the very best for us. Sometimes prayers are answered, but the answer is not yet. And that really is okay. For our Lord sees not just today like we do, but all of our tomorrows. And all of everyone else’s tomorrows. And so, in the long term, God truly knows what is best for each of us. How Blessed are we that God loves us so much that He takes the time to ensure that all things work to the good of those who love Him!
So if you are worried that God is not answering your prayer, don’t be. God hears our prayers and will always do what will bring us the greatest good 🙂
