Waiting On The Lord

In the hustle and bustle of life, where instant gratification is often celebrated, the art of patiently waiting on God can feel like a lost virtue especially as it pertains to receiving answers to our prayers.  As intercessors, it is our assignment to labor in prayer for individuals, communities and/or nations. 

In some instances, we desire the answers immediately to our prayers.  How many times have you asked God for something specific in prayer but no response? The psalmist echoes this sentiment in Psalm 37:7a, be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. 

In a world where impatience often leads to anxiety and restlessness, the call to stillness before God is revolutionary. It is an invitation to surrender our need for control and our timelines to His perfect plan. As you wait, I encourage you to refrain from anger, doubt, fear, and forsake wrath, trusting that God will respond to your prayers in due season.

So, embrace the discipline of waiting on the Lord with patience and trust. Always approach His throne with confidence, knowing that He hears our prayers and delights in our dependence on Him. To all intercessors, I pray you find peace in His presence, strength in His promises, and joy in His perfect timing. While we think our focus is praying, it is in our waiting that God transforms us and in the appointed time, our prayers are answered beyond measure.
