Have you ever prayed... and prayed... and prayed for something? I certainly have. After a long while of not hearing an answer I am tempting to start thinking that maybe God is saving his answer for me in eternity. It's easy to start rationalizing - talking about God's timing and about all the things that He does that I don't know about. It's kind of like giving up on the prayer and making sure that I don't set my expectations too high. That way I won't get let down too badly.
Then one day I found the words of Psalm 27:13 "I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." King David who wrote this Psalm didn't allow discouragement and unbelief to settle in on him. Nor should I. The psalm goes on to say: "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."
I am still confident...
