But, what if, we have been praying for so long...like for example 5 years, and we're asking the Lord for the same thing and it seems like answer is very far from reach. Or it seems like it will never happen or it is probably not possible?
Are we going to give up?
Should we stop praying and hoping for answer?
Oh well...here's the phrase that keeps popping out whenever i think of the word "QUIT"....it's "PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE"
For me, we pray and ask because we believe that God is able to give us everything according to our faith and His will. We've taught to wait and never lose heart. We've taught that even though how long we waited, the grace of the our Lord is sufficient for our needs...the waiting needs.
What are the waiting needs?
Here are some i have experienced so far:
- 1. Wisdom - without which we will surely give up
- 2. Strength - we maybe a weaker vessel, but in asking, we need an extra strength from the Lord
- 3. Comfort - we have this feeling of sadness every time our prayer has not been answered...we need to be comforted
- 4. Help - surely we need this one
- 5. Time - maybe the Lord wants to see how prepared we are of the blessings. And there's perfect time always.
- 6. Humility - the thought of what if we already get the answer now, can we be good stewards of it? Are we going to boast on it? Can we remain humble?
- 7. Prayer - as what is written above, "without ceasing"
- 8. Courage - and not a failing heart
- 9. Love - more of it
- 10. Hope - that all things are possible with God. Hope for prayers to be answered. Hope for great things. Hope for POSITIVE results after all the waitings.
This and more.
Have a happy sunday friends.
