Waiting on a miracle

Have you found yourself in desperate need of something to take place in your life that you had no control over?

Maybe a relationship that is strained or broken, maybe a physical need that is excruciating or life-threatening, perhaps a financial need that is unreachable, or even an emotional weight that hangs like a millstone of weight around your neck, crushing your soul.

What do you do, when you are waiting on a miracle?

Often times I try and figure out what I can do to hurry things along. Sometimes I try and determine what I have done that brought me to this difficult circumstance. At times I will try to ignore the problem, cover up my feelings or cope with the reality of being out of control.

Sometimes I choose wisely what I do when I am waiting, other times I do not.

What should we do while we are waiting?

Keep praying, keep trusting, keep reading God’s promises, keep surrendering the issue to Him, keep persevering.

I have often told my kids and other people that being patient is “waiting nicely.” I would add to that, that being patient is also trusting that someone will bring a perfect solution to the situation in due time.

Whatever you are waiting on God for, make sure that you truly are waiting on Him: pray, surrender, express your faith and trust, and give thanksgiving to God. Don’t try to figure it out, work it out or force something to happen. Give it to the One who is all-sufficient to bring it about. Anticipate and look for God’s miraculous answer. But while you are waiting, don’t lose hope, don’t take your eyes off of Jesus and fully trust that God’s answer will be more complete, more beautiful, more timely, more sufficient than you can even imagine.

And then rest in His arms, as you express to Him that you trust Him, His ways and His timing.

Would you join me in waiting patiently on a miracle?
