                                     The Waiting Heart


Have you been praying for someone, or something, or some situation and no answer is in sight? You are not alone. Perhaps these thoughts will help...

    “Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God means:

First: activity under God’s command

Second: readiness for any new command

Third: the ability to do nothing until a command is given.”

                                                                                           (G. Campbell Morgan)


“The only thing harder than waiting on God is wishing you had.”

                                                                                                       (Steven Furtick)


“Sometimes when we are waiting for God to speak, He is waiting for us to listen.”

                                                                                               (Martha Bolton)


“Waiting on God is an act of faith.”                 (Steve Farrer)

And faith pleases God! (Hebrews 11:6)

    

“True worship is open to God, adoring God, waiting for God, trusting God, even in the dark.”                                                                  (N.T. Wright)


And praying for each of us to have pure, peaceful, trusting, and waiting hearts

during these summer days, and always.
