Be patient and have faith

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31NKJV)

 If we take the time to count our blessings, we’ll find that most of the time the Lord is extremely merciful to us. He so often cares for us when we don’t deserve it. He patiently waits for us to understand and learn and forgives our outbursts and struggles to trust in Him. He knows our frame, that we’re just dust, and often He sends healing and the answers to our prayers even before we call.
But there are times when He knows that the best requires us to wait or to walk by faith through some experiences. In those times faith becomes the bond between Him and us that carries us through until we can understand the greater good that He is bringing about.
Sometimes, He may be waiting for us to stop and listen to what He’s trying to help us understand. He may be stretching our faith in order to strengthen our convictions to trust Him even when our plans get delayed. He may be planning something far better as a more complete answer to our heart cry. He may be developing unseen qualities like empathy, compassion, mercy, and wisdom in our lives.
 When you call, you can know that He has heard your cry, He has seen your tears, His heart understands—and He has answered according to His will and in whatever way He knows is best! He knows that He’s going to bring about a beautiful outcome. Be patient and have faith. —Maria Fontaine [1]

  Through the dark and stormy night Faith beholds a feeble light Up the blackness streaking; Knowing God's own time is best, In a patient hope I rest For the full day-breaking! —John Greenleaf Whittier
