Psalm 27:14 reminds me of"); document.writeln("the long wait that Abraham and Sarah had to endure waiting for a child. God had"); document.writeln("promised that they would have many descendants; as much as the stars, which is"); document.writeln("a very great promise. However, this promise was not fulfilled right away. It"); document.writeln("took many years for Sarah to conceive a child, and they got impatient in the"); document.writeln("process which led them to try things their own way. However, in God\'€™s timing,"); document.writeln("she did conceive and they named their son Issac. Even though they had gotten"); document.writeln("older and were not as youthful when they finally had a child, the one thing"); document.writeln("that remained was their deep faith and love for the Lord. This is what made it"); document.writeln("possible for them to have a child even in their old age.

"); document.writeln("

 

"); document.writeln("

Like Abraham and Sarah, we"); document.writeln("should wait patiently for the Lord because His timing is perfect. Whether you"); document.writeln("are waiting for a job, healing, a significant other, a child, or something"); document.writeln("else, God hears you. If it is His will, whatever you are praying for will"); document.writeln("happen. If it is not His will, it just means that He has a different plan for"); document.writeln("you; not a bad plan, but a better one. Whether our prayers are answered the way"); document.writeln("we want or not, we should always keep our faith standing strong. We may be tempted"); document.writeln("to take matters into our own hands, but our ways will never be better than God\'€™s"); document.writeln("way. We need to wait patiently for the Lord, while also being brave and"); document.writeln("courageous in the season of waiting.

"); document.writeln("

Suggested prayer: Dear"); document.writeln("God, thank you for having a plan for me and my life. Thank you for hearing my"); document.writeln("prayers and for knowing what is best. Please help me to wait patiently and"); document.writeln("courageously for you. May your will be done in my life and in the lives of others."); document.writeln("In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
