Do you want to be heard? Do you think you have a message worth hearing? Are you seeking someone to listen to you? Are you waiting for answers? Are you asking the right questions? Are you pleading to the right person? Where is your hope? Is your hope in the Lord?
Some of us feel as though we are never heard. We believe we have a message others need to hear. Perhaps we are speaking our message and feel like people are not listening. We provide guidance to them, and they do not heed it. It becomes frustrating.
We may be waiting for answers to questions we have. Perhaps we are seeking guidance and finding no answers. We may be asking the wrong person. We may be asking God, who is the right person. We may need to wait for God to answer. We may be impatient. God may be teaching us patience. Or it may not be the right time according to God’s plan.
Waiting challenges us. It can be frustrating. We may begin to lose hope. That is when we need to hold onto our faith with a tighter grip and wait, rather than making a rash decision. God will provide the answer we need. We must never give up hope. Our hope includes trusting in God. It is often in our waiting that we grow. As we wait, we are to continue to cry out to God. Not like a spoiled child but as a person of faith who continues to trust God and waits for his answer.
I pray we all trust God to provide the answers we need. I pray we hold onto our faith during times of waiting. I pray each one of us spend time in prayer, asking God for his guidance. Trust God will provide. Hold onto your faith. Spend time in prayer. Continue to wait for God’s answer.
Psalm 130:5-6
I wait for the Lord; my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
