You need to be patient, in order to do the will of God and receive what he promised. Hebrews 10:36
Countdowns are a part of life. Besides the NASA space launches, how many who are parents have caught yourself uttering "you have to the count of ten to give that toy back to your brother" or something similar? We have countdowns till vacation starts, waiting till an upcoming marriage, baby to be born, or graduation. Yes we count down and try to be patient in the process.
Waiting is not real fun and in modern America we are used to getting instant everything. Life doesn't work that way nor does prayer work that way. Part of the process of waiting is for your own good to train you to be more Christlike. Giving things instantly does not teach anything.
What is it you are waiting anxiously for today? A child's or spouse's salvation, healing, a job, to be forgiven by someone, a promotion at work? God has your back. He hears your prayers. Keep on believing and trusting and try to be still in the process.
PRAYER: Lord you are good and your mercies endure forever. Oh Lord God I look to you to help me be still. Help me not get impatient. Strengthen my heart to do your will. In Jesus' name. Amen.
