Waiting is prayer

My head says
Do, do, do
The fast eat the slow
You have to make it happen

Getting a job depends solely on you

My soul says
Wait, listen, watch, rest
Your strength comes from settling down in complete dependence on me [God] (Is. 30.16)


Waiting is not passive, it's not in-activity, although my body may be still.
Waiting is prayer, trusting, faith

while I "wait on the Lord"
He is working on my behalf


"God's not finished. He's waiting around to be gracious to you. He's gathering strength to show mercy to you. God takes the time to do everything right -- EVERYTHING.
THose who wait around for him are the lucky ones." (Is.30.18)

I believe - help my unbelief.
