Today I want to talk about waiting, waiting is something the majority of us hate to do. Whether it’s waiting in line at Walmart or waiting on your food at a restaurant, we all get a little ill while waiting on others.

Psalms 27:14 tells us to wait on the Lord. I want to apply this to the many struggles we face. I’ve gone through personal experiences where I have felt like there would never be a happy ending. People kept telling me “it’ll get better.” However, it always seemed as though things were getting worse. I remember praying for God to just bring me some sort of happiness. I was so angry when my happiness didn’t come the next day, or even the next week. Honestly, my happiness didn’t come until about 3 years later. The reason? I got tired of waiting on the Lord, and looked for happiness in all the wrong places.I also was impatient. Waiting on the Lord felt like watching paint dry. The days would drag on and it seemed as though nothing was changing. I was so angry with the Lord, it was like He wasn't hearing me. However, He was waiting for perfect timing.

My point in this is that we have to trust. I know we have all been guilty of questioning the Lord. We've been angry when his timing wasn't the same as our timing but he knows what is best. I'm glad the Lord put me through many trials. It has lead me to be the woman I am today. I wouldn't be here writing this article for His glory if I wouldn't have gone through all I did.

The Lord waits on us constantly. Before we are Christians He waits for us to come to Him. When we are sinning He waits for us to repent. When we are lost He not only waits for us to come home, but He leads the way also. The Lord is always waiting on us, we can learn to wait on Him.

So wherever you may be in life, and what ever you may be going through stay strong and wait. God's plan for our life is so amazing, and he will use this struggle for a bigger purpose. While you're waiting it may get lonely and it may feel as though He can't hear your crys, but I promise He is holding your hand through it all to get you to the other side.

Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD! Psalms 27:14

Be strong, His timing is always perfect!
