When U Pray

“I will stand like a guard and watch. I will wait to see what the Lord will say to me. I will wait and learn how He answers my questions. The Lord answered me, ‘Write down what I show you. Write it clearly on a sign so that the message will be easy to read.’”
— Habakkuk 2:1-2 ERV

It’s early January 2025, and many of us have created new vision boards or prayer boards. Many of us are believing God for various things like good health, increased wealth, safety and security, as well as restoration in our relationships. With that being said, it’s important to remember what God has told us to do while we wait. Remember the benefits of waiting on His Word.

“But those who trust in the Lord will become strong again. They will be like eagles that grow new feathers. They will run and not get weak. They will walk and not get tired.”
— Isaiah 40:31 ERV

Our God is able to sustain us in any situation, so if things are not working the way you think they should, don’t give up hope, don’t get frustrated, and don’t trust your own understanding. If God said it, it shall be.

“Trust the Lord completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge. With every step you take, think about what He wants, and He will help you go the right way.”
— Proverbs 3:5-6 ERV

“In the same way, my words leave my mouth, and they don’t come back without results. My words make the things happen that I want to happen. They succeed in doing what I send them to do.”
— Isaiah 55:11 ERV

I just need to remind you that when you wrote that vision for you and your family, it’s because you have great expectations from God. Don’t let up, don’t stop believing, and don’t look back; remember, you are not going that way. As believers, we have to stand even in the face of adversity. We have to remember that OUR GOD is ABLE! I know that even while waiting there will be challenges, but that’s not our problem to solve. These battles are not ours; they belong to God, and He is able to handle them way better than we can.

“I pray that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. I pray that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. And I pray that you and all God’s holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ’s love—how wide, how long, how high, and how deep that love is.”
— Ephesians 3:17-18 ERV
