Patience In Prayer
When the idea is not right, God says, "NO".
No - when the idea is not the best.
No - when the idea is absolutely wrong.
No - when though it may help you,
it would create problems for someone else
When the time is not right, God says, "SLOW".
What a catastrophe it would be if God answered every prayer at the snap of your fingers.
Do you know what would happen?
God would become your servant, not your master.
Suddenly God would be working for you instead of you working for God.
When you are not right, God says, "GROW."
The selfish person has to grow in unselfishness.
The cautious person must grow in courage.
The timid person must grow in confidence,
The dominating person must grow in sensitivity.
The critical person must grow in tolerance.
The negative person must grow in positive attitudes.
The pleasure-seeking person must grow in compassion for suffering people.
When everything is all right, God says, "GO."
Then miracles happen:
A hopeless alcoholic is set free.
A drug addict finds release.
A doubter becomes a child in his belief.
Diseased tissue responds to treatment, and healing begins.
The door to your dream suddenly swings open and there stands God saying, "GO!".
Remember: God's delays are not God's denials.
God's timing is perfect.
Patience is what we need in prayer
Everything I Need To Know About Life, I Learned From Noah's Ark...
1: Don't miss the boat.
2: We are all in the same boat.
3: Stay fit. Someone may ask you to do something really big.
4: Listen to your inner calls, no matter how strange... It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark!
5: Don't listen to critics, just get on with the job that needs to be
done.
6: Build your future carefully in the present, preferably on good foundation (high >ground).
7: Follow divine plan; on long journeys travel in pairs and enjoy the company of others.
8: All creatures, regardless of size, are important in the big scheme of things.
9: In the midst of a storm, trust, be patient and float a while.
10: Speed isn't as important as the ability to ride the waves.
11: The Ark was built and manned by amateurs, the Titanic by professionals.
12: No matter the storm, when you are with God there's always a rainbow waiting.
