Waiting

My prayer list was long this morning, and some are the same ‘asks’ I’ve had for decades.  I had to stop writing and ask out loud, ‘God, should I just stop asking for this? This ‘ask’ matches what You desire, so why no answer?’  Philippians 1:6. Completion day for Him is the day of Jesus Christ.  Not my wish for today, tomorrow, or as quickly as I wish.

Yes, other people are involved.  God has plans in and for their lives that obviously differ from either their choices, or even what I see as best.

One positive result of what I see as unnecessary delay is this:  God is growing patience within me.  And why not?  He’s patient and wants me to be like him.  And persistence.  Yes, I’m growing in that too.
