Waiting on the Lord

"Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, as we wait upon the Lord." These words from a wonderful praise song are important ones for us! We rush, and we do, and we work. WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. We do not like to wait! Dear Lord, we wait, as many of my friends wait for answers to prayer, leaning on you. We wait for healing. We wait for relationships to be more fulfilling. We wait for jobs, or wait for jobs to develop earning power. We wait for loans to process so they can keep their homes, or we wait for buyers so they can sell them. When we stop, and spend time with you, Lord, the strength comes, as you have promised. I am so grateful for the strength that you have given Kristine's family and friends, as they wait for treatment to lead to healing....trusting in you. Lord, for me, just sitting in prayer, and waiting on you.... I count it such a blessing and privilege! Thank you for the time this summer to wait on you. I can hardly wait to see where the listening leads. "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." Romans 8:25
