Wait for the Lord; be strong and
take heart and wait for the Lord.
—Psalm 27:14
Best-selling author Sarah Breathnach said, “When I wrote Simple Abundance it was turned down 30 times before I got a publisher. Looking back, if it had been published earlier it never would have struck a chord, but later people were ready to listen to the message. Isn’t divine timing amazing?”
Yes, it is, Sarah, but it’s hard to swallow.
The interval between prayer and answer sometimes seems to drag on forever. Why doesn’t he respond?
He does—when the time is right. Until then, patiently wait and persevere in prayer.
Here’s a little prayer for you:
Dear God, give me grace to wait patiently
until it pleases you to answer my prayer.
I trust you to do it
in your own time and in your own way.
Amen.
Come to a place of peace with God’s timing.
