Hebrews 6:15- “And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.”
Have you ever prayed fervently for something and—as yet—not have it come to pass?
Jen prayed that the “right” man would come along. For years, she prayed. But nothing happened.
Fast forward twenty-five years.
Jen connected with a nice man at her high school class reunion. They dated for awhile, but he ended up marrying someone else.
Ten more years went by.
Now retired, Jen became a volunteer at the county library where she met Hank. A nice guy. Funny and caring. Everything she’d hoped for—and more.
They married January 4, 2024.
When asked if he was worth waiting for, she answered an enthusiastic, yes!
God had answered both of their prayers—as he had been praying, too!!!
Like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Simeon, we find that waiting on God’s answers to prayer requires patience and faith. These men of the Bible persevered and trusted in God’s perfect timing even though they didn’t understand the wait.
The Lord’s plans for our lives are good. Patient waiting refines our character and glorifies God.
