Have you ever had prayers that you've prayed so long that they've become more like 'prayer goals'? God obviously didn't answer overnight, or the next, so the prayer gets repeated. We know in our spirit that God wants to answer it, but.... still no. Eventually, we begin to think of the answer as always being sometime in the future.
"Lord, just help me to get completely out of debt." Are you still praying that one? Or how about "Lord, I ask you to reach my lost friend today."
What if it's not God's intent to answer at some future date? What if God is waiting on us?
What if the affirmative answer to every one of our prayer goals hinges upon us stepping into something that we have always been afraid to step into?
Could it be that the answer to our debt problem is giving more? Could it be that God has been trying to reach our lost friends - using our hands?
God Himself spoke through David and acknowledged that our days are like chaff in the wind - here one minute, gone the next. He is more of a "right now" God than we like to admit. If you find yourself often reminding God of things you already know He would like to do, reassess the situation. Is He waiting on us?
