"Prayer in the WAITING"

Prayer in the Waiting...this was the title of the sermon today at church.

Waiting.
This word doesn't usually have a positive tone to it.
Nobody likes to be told to wait. At least I know I don't.
But, you see...it's not about me. It's ALL about HIM. Jesus.
Everything is about Him.

He is the reason I'm Finding JOY in the Everyday...
He is the reason that I have a Peace that passes all of my understanding through the most difficult thing I've ever endured.
He is the reason for it all.
He is.

Colossians 4: 2-4 (MSG)

Pray Diligently.
Stay alert, with your eyes wide open in gratitude.
Don't forget to pray for us, that God will open doors for telling the mystery of Christ, even while I'm locked up in this jail. Pray that every time I open my mouth I'll be able to make Christ plain as day to them.

Waiting. What am I waiting for?
That's a good question.
I'm waiting to see how the Lord is going to use this trial in my life and use me to bring Glory to His  Name. I'm waiting to see my boys flourish despite what they've been dealt. I'm waiting to see God's plan for my life unfold.
I'm simply waiting. Waiting on my Jesus.
HIS word NEVER fails.
HIS promises are always true.

Even though the enemy has {tried} to thwart God's purpose for my life...he hasn't!!!
Jesus has the VICTORY. ALWAYS!

I'm thankful. I'm blessed.
I'm amazed at how the Lord has carried me these last few weeks.
I have 'bouts of raging anger and i have 'bouts of utter despair...but, in the midst of those horrible things...i feel Jesus. Wrapping His arms around me.

While we wait. God is with us.
While we wait. God is at work around us.
While we wait. God is at work inside us.
