Prayer is all about relationship and communication with Father and in relationships there is always a need for patience. This is the part I find the hardest. Waiting. So often in relationship we have to wait: for an answer; for an arrival; for a departure; for a response; for something. Waiting can often prove detrimental to our relationships when our impatience grows, but waiting must become a part of your prayer life and more importantly, your Christian life if you are to grow in fullness with Father.
'Rest in the Lord and wait patiently on Him,' Psalm 37:7
In a world that is so busy, that thrives on speed, that loves things that mean they don’t have to wait, it is hard to learn to rest and wait. There are a great many scriptures in the Bible that talk about waiting and most of the people whose lives are retold in the Bible have to wait, some for years, some for a season; some even beyond their own lives. This series will look at those characters and how their waiting can teach us how to wait in our prayer lives. About how prayer at times can just be a time or a season of waiting on God, just being still in His presence and waiting. There is a power that comes from learning the art of waiting, a growth in relationship that springs up out of patience, as father makes you wait in your relationship at times, learn to value and appreciate that time, just waiting on Him, it's where strength and character grow.
'But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.' Isaiah 40:31
Learn to wait on God in your prayer life and your relationship with Father, in time, will flourish.
