We Wait Patiently

 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. (Romans 8:25 NIV)

My compassions never fail; they are new every morning. You can begin each day confidently, knowing that My vast reservoir of blessings is full—to the brim. This knowledge helps you wait for Me, entrusting your long-unanswered prayers into My care and keeping.

 I assure you that not one of your prayers has slipped past Me, unnoticed. I want you to drink deeply from My fountain of limitless Love and unfailing compassion.

 As you wait in My Presence, these divine nutrients are freely available. You may drink without cost from the spring of the water of Life. Although many of your prayers remain unanswered, you can trust in My great faithfulness: I keep all My promises in My perfect way and timing.
 Among other things, I have promised to give you Peace that displaces the trouble and fear in your heart.

 If you become weary of waiting for answers to your prayers, remember that I also wait, so that I may be gracious to you and have mercy on you. I wait till you are ready to receive the things I have lovingly prepared for you.
 Blessed are all those who wait for Me—expectedly, lovingly, trustingly. —Jesus [1]

 When you have that praiseful, trusting attitude, it pleases Him and it’s His pleasure to answer your prayers, even if it may not be in the way you expected, but in the way He knows is best. “Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.”—Alex Peterson
