This age is so geared for things to happen instantly that waiting is almost a lost art. One of the fruits of the Spirit is longsuffering. You display this fruit when you are willing to wait upon Me in the midst of trials.
It is your nature to want to escape when you are going through difficult times. However, that is the very time that you need to press into Me. Be willing to rest in Me with quiet assurance that I have heard your prayers and that I am answering them.
Faith is not seen, and you cannot see the warfare in the spirit realm that often is taking place while you wait for your prayers to be answered. Remember Daniel and how I heard his prayer the moment he cried out to Me, but there was war in the heavenlies that caused the answer to his prayer to be delayed. As you enter this next year, make it your goal to wait patiently upon Me with sure confidence that I hear your prayers and that I answer them.
DANIEL 10:10-15; 1 JOHN 5:14-15
