Is God waiting for me?
Seems like a potentially arrogant question. After all, why would the most omnipotent being in all of any history - wait for me to do anything? Isn't it me who should be waiting on God - in prayer, petition, thanksgiving, and hope?
That is all true. And yet I feel that sometimes God does wait for me, for us.
- To forgive even when it feels impossible.
- Embrace a season of quiet with God.
- Let go of what I think my journey thru this life should look like.
- Allow God into my broken places.
A season of quiet with God - what does that look like? How long is that? If we listen for God enough, look for him in all that we see and do, inevitably he will tell us what that season is.
Thru prayer we will see & hear God. Keeping our eyes wide open all the time - to see & hear him in everything, the sweetest birdsong, the prettiest flower, the hideous weed, the icky insect - is to find God present in our lives every second of the day.
Not every minute. Every single second. Even the words I am writing come straight from God. Because those 4 points above constitute a prayer I have been saying as often as possible, as the gift they are - given to me from a surprising source.
Indeed, that same source gifted me with another prayer, just for me.
A Personal Revival from God. To acknowledge God's presence, make a plan for healing with only his guidance, and persevere in this plan in the quiet spaces with God.
When you open your mind to all of God's possibilities - even the ones that seem so improbable as to be nearly unbelievable - he delivers gift upon gift.
So go to that quiet place with God - and open your mind & heart to listen to his messages. For he indeed...waiting for us.
