We all know God is patient. The Scriptures make it clear. Today, I was praying about patience with the Holy Father, and then I wondered; How does God feel about waiting? How does He do it? Does He focus on the outcome? Are there any aspects about waiting that God enjoys?
How can I wait better?
I am not patient. I hate waiting. I have prayed that God would draw me closer to Him so I could have His patience. It makes me smile to think that I am now waiting for patience… I guess that is why He gave me a sense of humor. I am actually smiling because I am waiting for patience. The sense of humor the Holy Father has given me helps me wait better. It helps to remember that God is NOT slow in answering my prayers.
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Pray for those of us who are waiting on something.
Holy Father, I need to be Christ-centered and receive Your mercy and grace in order to wait on Your blessings. I repent of my attitude of accusing You of being too slow when answering my prayers. Please help me wait with a smile on my face. Lord Jesus, help me wait in You and Your peace for my prayers to be answered. Amen.

One response to “God Is Patient and Waits for the Right Time.”
I agree. I believe that God has never been slow with His plan. We all need to understand that our life needs to be focused on His plan, not Ours…
