Patience In Waiting For Answers to Prayers.



I remember being told that the LORD answers prayers you ask of Him in three ways: yes, no, and wait. We can accept the "yes" and "no," but there is just something about the "wait" that brings in the "patience" factor.

Isaiah 40:31, "They that wait upon the LORD, shall renew their strength." This sounds great for those of us who have had our prayer answered right away. But, it definitely brings in the "patience" factor when our prayer has reached into months, years, and even a lifetime!

Charles Stanley, 7/07/2014 shares, "We have the strength (patience) to persevere because of the indwelling Holy Spirit."

Acts 1:8, "GOD releases His Supernatural power into our life so we might endure." Our prayer may become one of endurance.

Romans 8:28, "GOD will bring good from our troubles (and trials.)" In GOD's timing, our prayer will receive good that outweighs the bad. 

I Corinthians 10:13, "GOD has promised to limit our trials to what we can bear." Each person has their own level of tolerance (patience). Thank the LORD, He knows our limitations!

Psalm 37:9, "...those who wait upon the LORD shall inherit the earth."
