“If you can wait and not be tired by waiting” Rudyard Kipling

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!         Psalm 27:14

Not long ago I had eye surgery and contrary to my expectations the first three days of recovery were extremely painful. It was a pain deeper than the surface and there was no where to go to get away from it. Everything was normal about the procedure but I just had to wait. I hate to wait; but I have discovered that the only thing worse than waiting on God, is not waiting on God! What are you waiting for that only God can heal tonight? Abide in Him and He will bring it to pass!

And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? Luke 24:5 ESV

But our turtle wanted nothing to do with his new home. He never drank the water, nor ate a single piece of bread. Each day he grew weaker, until by the end of the week he lay motionless.

In Luke’s gospel he shows us a scene at the Last Supper of the disciples using the moment while they are still eating to argue about who is the best and most important.

Jesus then pulls Simon Peter aside to give him both a warning and a promise. He tells him to pray because Satan stands ready to attack but Jesus also assures Him that He has been praying for him.

Did you ever stop to think that Jesus is also still praying for you? God’s promises have not changed and remain active and in force for anyone of any status, age or ability; to believe in, trust completely and claim for their lives, family and generation.

No matter who or what we face today; we do not need to do it alone. When we go to God in prayer we can go with this assurance in hand. Jesus is still praying for me!
