Oh Margaret,
Such a title. We are waiting the arrival of a granddaughter who is 8 days post due. Staying at peace and strong in the Lord.
Blessings to you,
Janis
Fear creeps into the waiting room. Is this the new normal? Will life ever be the same? Will he recover? Completely? O Lord please provide for my husband to find YOU through this time of challenge (stroke, diabetes). I thank-YOU Heavenly Father for your mercy and love that we were spared a worse event. I am listening………..I hear you…..slow down, take care of the home front. I am waiting for you God!! AMEN.
Waiting again for God to heal my little one. Chemotherapy again Lord? That nightmare again Lord? Please Lord make it stop, heal her, take those tumors away or at least stabilize them. Im not sure I can talk to him about it anymore. Ive tried listening but it just seems like I hear my own voice.
I’m waiting for healing. Please pray.
What a gift, Janis. Can’t wait to hear about your sweet new granddaughter. Praying for a safe delivery for mom and baby!
Echoing your prayers, Nancy. Praying for full and complete healing.
Father, we lift up Maria and her little one. God wrap them in your arms, surround them with your love. Make your presence known and allow your glory to shine in the midst of this waiting room. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Praying for complete and full healing, Chelsea.
Please pray for my restless heart. I feel like I am sinking but I know WHO is my Anchor, it just gets tedious sometimes, thank you.
Lifting you up in prayer right now, Debbie. May you continue to glue your eyes to the One that is on the throne!
Today I am waiting to see how God will provide for a need in our Women’s Ministry events at the church. A door closed today…one that’s been ajar for the past 4 months. Not certain as to whether we propped that door open ourselves to begin with (although I really sensed God’s leading there), or God had us purposefully go down this path for a reason. Whichever the case, the door pretty much slammed shut today.
Looking down the hallway to see the Light that indicates another open door, and waiting with hopeful expectation,
Joy
While I’m waiting on God to answer prayer: through your bible study,
Although I still need to purchase your books, I wiil, of corse, for my library
Since June this year I had an old “laundry list” same issues iv had for
3 years & 1 month. I actually thought God forgot me, so I began another journal, I’m writing down scripture, tagging notes, I’m listening – there has been a turn-ar
I meant to sat there has been a turn around.. His presence, is silent,
He is however, there providing whisper, Echos, in my midst..
Thank you for praying for me..
Mae
Oh Margaret,
Thank you for your “timely” post. We are waiting on a job. Praying for God’s job and perfect man for us. Thank you for your prayers!!
I’m blessed by reading this message. Learning to wait for God. Although sometimes getting restless but trust that God has a purpose for my life and still loves me. From you I’ve come to know about the book Astonished authored by Mike Erre. I’ve gone through its sample copy & found it very nice. Would like to know a little more before buying it so please guide me. Thanks and God bless you abundantly.
We are waiting for our children to love The Lord with their WHOLE hearts. Such a hard wait, watching them struggle through life…
Thank you for praying with us! Hugs! 🙂
Praying you will hear God’s voice in decisions concerning your Women’s Ministry, Joy!
Mae, lifting you up in prayer during your time of waiting!
Praying for you and your children today, Tara!
Lifting you up in prayer today, Michelle!
Hi Margaret,
I am feeling stressed out by my marriage and am waiting on God as to what to do and patience if more waiting is the answer. But more than that I am waiting on the sense of God’s presence to give a more complete peace. I am enjoying the messages on your web page.
Thank you,
Karen
Opposite ends of the spectrum for me this week – dealing with a tough ‘people issue’ at work (a church) and it’s very painful. Waiting for resolution that I think should have come months ago!! Still waiting resolution but in the waiting God is speaking to me. And the only thing I can control is me – so hearing Him is what matters. As I waited these past few months it seemed so hard. Now I understand the waiting.
Then my Dad died suddenly last week. 89 years of a great life. Played golf Monday, in fact. And collapsed in the kitchen at home Tuesday and was gone instantly. I spent the week wondering how time goes by so quickly – why is it so fleeting – how come it never seems to last long enough?
Whether it is in the waiting or the incredible speed of time, I am learning that the only one to rely on, the only one I need to listen to, is the Creator of time who is outside of time. And in all things He is with me and is calling me. That’s more than enough.
I have prayed about stepping away from the church that I worked so hard in the kids ministry, I listened and closed the door but waiting…… UGH its killing me to find out what my next door will bring. Its kinda funny because every time I think I found myself a new church or project I say to myself” is this it?” “it might be” or “maybe”. I wonder if it will be like finding a wedding dress. U just know u found it when you find it!!
Margaret, thank you .. I can feel your prayers. There is a calm over the 3 things I have been praying for. And I have begun taking positive steps bringing me peace. But I know the peace is from the Lord, its so encouraging!
My own home again, is one – prayer and I just began the process for that to happen spring 2015!! – all things are possible with God. I’m focused on scripture.
I love the wedding dress analogy, Kim. Praying for you as you wait today.
Gabrielle, praying for you as you grieve for your father. May God wrap his arms around you and saturate you in his love during this difficult time. Big hug to you.
Karen, lifting you up today. May God’s peace wrap you up as you are saturated in his love.
I so enjoyed Mike Erre’s book. You won’t be disappointed. Hug to you, Norine.
