More Patience - But, Don't Pray For It
Oh, how often I have heard "Don't pray for patience. It will only bring you trials"It kept me from praying for it, but how much I have missed.
God allows us to go through trials to strengthen us and bring us closer to Him. I grieve at the times that I have tried to do it myself. He was right there waiting for me to ask and wanting to help. If only I had asked Him. He will not just barge in and take over. We have to be willing for Him to help us.
He is our Heavenly Father. He wants only the best for us and would give us everything we ask for. But, sometimes He says "No" because He knows it would only harm us because we could not handle it. He loves us enough to say "No".
How I long to be closer to Him in every aspect of my life. But, how I miss the mark. He wants us to talk to Him and listen for His answer. I need to get better at that.
I am finally writing again. I just did not have the words for so long. I prayed about it - not often enough - and waited. He allowed it to happen at just the right time. Now, all I want to do is write.
I was not always patient about it. I begged Him to show me what was wrong. I pleaded with Him to give me some ideas. Finally, in His timing, it is happening.
Wait on Him. Whatever is His will for your life will happen in His timing.
