Be strong and take heart!
Article from Heartlight
---------------------------------
VERSE:
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the
Lord.
-- Psalm 27:14
THOUGHT:
If there is anything we don't like to do, it's wait. Maybe that
is why God is so interested in us learning to do it! There is
something purifying about remaining strong in tough times and
remaining faithful when ill winds blow. So God gives us times of
waiting to see if our search is really for him or merely for
something new or easy.
PRAYER:
Loving Father, I know you have waited for me so many times --
for me to show my faith, repent of my sins, grow in holiness, come
to you in prayer, act more mature, give to those who cannot return
my care ... Help me as I wait for you to show me the way with my
decisions, to act to relieve my need, and to reveal your presence
in my loneliness. I really do seek you with all my heart. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.

I have never been good at waiting but especially when we're trying to conceive and are waiting to find out if we have been successful every month. Until I read your remarks it never occured to me that perhaps my wait is for me and not God. Thank you for shedding some light, it's been a while since I have had an awakening of sorts regarding my faith. I needed to see this.
