That part of life where you simply WAIT...

I don't know about you, but as far as I'm concern, I've had a lot of "stages" of my life where I'm just simply waiting for an answer from God and I'm challenged and encouraged to be PATIENT, and wait IN HIM, not in my own strength, not in my own desires, just wait and rely in him. 


Well, I'm in one of those places right now, I'm being challenged to believe in his word and trust that everything is going to be OK. I decided to -once again- believe him. I posted some verses I found in the scriptures in this group on facebook that I'm in with several youth members of my church and I got 2 responses that made me feel calm, peaceful and with strength, and I would love to share them with you:

All my longings lie open before you, Lord; 

               my sighing is not hidden from you.
   LORD, I wait for you;you will answer, Lord my God.


   LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me,
       my God. Come quickly to help me, my Lord 
                              and my Savior.

Psalm 38: 9, 15, 21, 22.

And my friend George posted some verses too :) :

Return to your rest, my soul,
   for the LORD has been good to you.

For you, LORD, have delivered me from death,
   my eyes from tears,
   my feet from stumbling,
 that I may walk before the LORD
   in the land of the living.

Psalm 116:7-9

When hard pressed, I cried to the LORD;
   he brought me into a spacious place.

Psalm 118: 5

You who fear him, trust in the LORD
   he is their help and shield.

Psalm 115: 11

And so, this is why the Bible says that his world is a living word, because no matter in what troubles we might be, he always comforts us in our troubles and gives us hope and faith to keep on going. 

Blessings.
