Patience and trust

“I waited patiently for the LORD; And he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay; And he set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭40‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭RV1895‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1922/psa.40.1-2.RV1895

Such a beautiful verse today. Ever feel this way? Have you ever waited and prayed for a long time for something to happen, and then it did?

Many people don’t. They pray for something and when it happens, they are satisfied and forget that they ever prayed to the Lord. Ever have this happen?

I think this is a human flaw. We are conscious of problems when they cause pain-physical or emotional. When we feel fine, we forget the problem we had. We do this all the time with physical problems like headaches, sore body parts, and injuries. Only when someone asks about it, we realize that we are better.

Regardless, know that the Lord is on your side. If you have to wait, know that He is not refusing your prayer. He wants the best for you. The timing isn’t perfect yet. Be patient.

He will lift you out of the mud that you are stuck in and put you in a safe spot. Remember to give thanks.
