Wait on gods timing6/22/2023 And when God stops, we stop too and wait for his direction. Waiting on God means not getting ahead of him, but allowing him to go before us. Will you say yes to God, even if it requires being still and waiting for him to show you where to go? Isaiah 26:8 says, “ Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you your name and renown are the desires of our hearts.” But it’s in the waiting that we gain the best direction for our lives. When we are unsure of God’s will for our lives, it’s tempting to rush and make our own moves. I translated God’s answer of “wait” to permission to do what I felt was right in the midst of my uncertainty.īut God soon showed me that I was not waiting for him – I was rushing him. Instead of waiting for God’s direction, I started doing things that I felt God would approve. My desire to be in a relationship made me want to rush God. And it was clear that I didn’t because I started to do things my way and taking God out of the equation. In Jesus’ name, amen.Who loves waiting? Why wait if we could have it now? While rushing may seem like the better option, it’s in the waiting that we receive the wisdom to make the best decision. I thank You that You have all wisdom and will answer my prayers in the perfect way. Stretch my faith in the midst of the wait, just as You did with Your disciples when encountering a storm at sea ( Matthew 8:23-27). I choose to hold unswervingly to the hope that I profess ( Hebrews 10:23). Deepen my understanding, and give me a greater knowledge of what You are doing in my life. I choose to be faithful in prayer ( Colossians 4:2). I choose to trust you, and I refuse to believe the lies of the enemy. Help me not to take matters in my own hands. I don’t want to live by feelings but by faith. Help me to be patient in prayer, not give up, and trust You even during moments when I feel negative emotions. Help me to pray by faith consistently and long-term, to believe, wait, and then move forward in Your timing. Reveal what is in my heart, and make me ready to handle the answer in the right way when it comes. Lord, I thank You that You will answer my prayers in Your perfect timing. Could all of these delays possibly be engineered and designed by the Lord Himself? Could He be preparing His people for something really big, and only He knows how He must make them ready in the place of prayer and intimacy first?Ī Breakthrough Prayer for Waiting for God's Timing Many believers are presently facing the reality of delay. We want immediate results and find it so difficult to wait.ĭid you know that your waiting could actually be strategic for breakthrough in prayer? We are often consumed with activism and a results-oriented lifestyle. In the fast-paced society in which we live we often feel that waiting is a complete waste of time. However, we discover that waiting on God in humility and faith because of who He is, and obeying His signals according to His timetable, are really where the exciting action is." Joy DawsonĪre you waiting for something you’ve been praying about for a very long time and the answer has not come? Do you sometimes feel stretched to the very limit of your endurance? I don’t think there is one of us who hasn’t felt like this at times. To those of us who were born in 'overdrive', waiting is not our favorite pastime. Everything about our human nature rebels against waiting. "We experience the adventure of intercession to the degree we have learned to wait on God.
