"Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act" (Psalm 37:7 NLT).
What does God want you to do while you're waiting on an answer to your prayer?
Psalm 37:7 says, "Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act" (NLT). God wants you to wait patiently for him to answer your prayer.
Have you noticed that we can endure waiting as long as we can grumble while we wait? We tolerate waiting in the DMV line as long as we can gripe and complain about how lousy and ineffective the government is.
But God says, "Be still."
Like little 2-year-olds, we get the spiritual wiggles while we're waiting for God to answer a prayer. We get nervous and restless. We want to jump up and do something. But God says, "Wait patiently. Be still. Watch me act. Don't get restless, don't get nervous, and don't try to take matters into your own hands."
Whenever you try to answer your own prayer, you're asking for trouble. Instead, wait patiently, and watch God act.
