"We must walk through God's process before we see His fulfilled promise." -Lysa Terkeurst
Sometimes when we want something so desperately, it can seem like God just isn't listening when our desires don't pan out. We wonder how He could ignore such deep, imploring prayers. We may even begin to question whether God cares at all. It is in these difficult waiting times that we must draw even closer to God. He loves us more than we could ever imagine, so if He is saying no to something, or not yet, then we need to trust in His wisdom. We don't know the big picture the way He does. He has a beautiful, perfect plan for us and we may think we know what that should look like, but it's often very different than we imagine. Bring God your frustrations, your sorrows and your fears. Let God draw you deeper into His presence and grow you through this waiting process. Believe in Him that His ways are higher than our ways, and that He only wants the best for His children. As we find a way to be patient with His process, we can begin to see the path towards His promise. Keep trusting, my friend. He knows exactly what you need.
