When?

Waiting is a nasty task, but we all have do it.  Have you ever not been able to sleep at night? You toss and turn; You get up walk around, look for something to eat, see what is on TV ... but the wait goes on for hours.   Even praying doesn't seem to make the time go faster.  Then the next day, after being up all night, it drags on too.  Waiting for the Sun to come up or go down is not fun.  

Waiting on God can feel that way.  You pray and hope for an answer but none comes.  The days tick by and even though you are waiting with an expectant hope, the waiting can still be painful.  I say painful because there are times that you think God doesn't hear you, that you are talking but no one is listening.  And there is a pain in your heart, an emptiness.   

We watched "Heaven is for Real" last night ... good, clean movie.   I believe it, the story that is ... but it was a long wait during the movie to get to the good part.  When you know the storyline of a movie and the beginning seems slow ... that is a long wait too. 

I bet you are waiting for me to make some point here ... about waiting on God and prayer.

You'll just have to wait ... Because waiting is hard.  

BUT...

When the waiting is over, you will forget you waited so long.
