Waiting Patiently on The Lord!

Patient- Bearing pains or trails calmly or without complaint; steadfast despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity; not hasty or impetuous. Patiently-In a patient manner.


    Sometimes I have the hardest time waiting patiently on the Lord's perfect timing...my mind drifts and thinks of ways how to fix, make things better or faster to benefit me in some shape or form. How can I sell my car faster, how can I get my darling little Bella to eat her meals faster?? How can my little Lily learn to listen to her mommy faster??? So many questions and ideas I have to fix little problems in my daily life as a mother, just a little faster. I realize that I can't sell my car faster, I can't get Bella to eat more or faster, I really really can't get Lily to listen to her mommy faster. Because if I don't have patients on God's perfect timing in all of this, then my car will cause me to worry and my Bella will frustrate me, and my little Lily want learn the skills that she needs. I hear myself and think how selfish of me to think that I can make things happen according to my time. By my car you know you want too, Bella eat your food faster mommy needs to get somewhere, Lily you just need to listen cause I am the mommy!! I struggle like any person and mother to fix the situation at hand, right away, not consulting in God and how he would have done things. Stop! Wait patiently on God's ever so gentile and sweet guiding words. I know that once I hear his perfect solution comes a sweeter victory and I find I am praising God just the way he would have me...and this rings sweeter to him. Yes we are parsing the Lord, because all this isn't about how to accomplish it faster, better, wiser then God but to know you find knowledge and success in the Lord. The daily duties become easer, calmer and faster!! When we find that we are waiting patently on the Lord, we are also tested in this task. Are we going to follow what the Holy Spirit is guiding us to do or are we going to listen to the frantic person that wants to just fix things and get passed the situation and move on. 


Psalm 140: 23-24
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. 


Will I obey my Father and wait on his perfect timing or will I take matters into my own hands and make my day just a little more hectic and that more unpleasant for me and others around me.  


Romans 12: 13
 Be patent in trouble, and keep praying. When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. 
Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. 


Having faith and patients that the Lord will hear your cry's and prayers, that he will come and lift us up when were felling a little lost...he gives us ideas and solutions to our daily situations. 


Psalm 139:4-5
You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. 


The Lord will bless our hands and our work...Bella will and has improved in her eating but I know that the Lord will give her a desire to eat and she want be the petite little pumpkin any more.  I know that my worries of our finance's is in the Lords hand's and he has already pre-pared the person that will buy my car or the next job is provided already for my husband. I know that if I am patient that my God will give me just the right tools to help my little Lily to listen to her mommy. It's all in God's hands because in mine it just want go right. I am eased and comforted knowing that God is in control and that he will provide.
