In His Timing

We have all been there. You feel the pressure of the situation, everything seems to be hanging by a thread, yet you can do nothing except pray God helps you (not that this is insignificant).  

You then wait on God. Who sometimes doesn't do things when you want them done. 

I write this post to be encouraging to my Christian family. We all have to learn this at some point in time or another, but learning to wait on God is crucial. 

In time, maybe you learn this when you are young, or maybe when you are older, but you come to the realization that He will take care of you in His perfect timing. 

It has begun to occur to me over the last several years this valuable lesson - God loves you, and will care for you (Please see Matt 6:25-34) . That He is not ignoring you. And what you so earnestly ask from Him may be met with an answer of 'Wait', or 'no'. That He answers prayer in His timing. 

Remember that we approach in prayer the One by His voice created the heavens and the earth, and has kept them running since the dawn of time. 

What you ask for in prayer may be a good thing by itself, but harmful in your situation now.  We have to trust when we pray to God that He knows best for us. 

Romans 8:28 ESV 

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." 

Pain is temporary. Even if we are faced with death, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ*. As true believers, we are heaven bound and are blessed beyond measure to live knowing that will get to spend eternity with He who created us. 

Praise God! 

*Romans 8:31-39 ESV

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
