All of us come here to be prayed for and pray for others. Everyone here has his or her story to tell. We are all hurting in some fashion or the other. And to say otherwise would not be honest. Some by way of emotional relationships, employment, financial difficulties and the list goes on… None of us are perfect, and none of us has a perfect life.

I keep praying that an answer will come and others are praying for me too. Sometimes I feel like I am in a waiting room? Waiting for my number to be called? There are times I want to throw in the towel and give up. The most difficult part is waiting patiently for an answer to come. You see; I don’t want to give up on the hope that my prayer will be answered. Maybe not the way I envisioned it to be but the way God wants it to be according to His will and purpose for my life. All I ask of you is to slow down because it seems you have a lot of burdens you are carrying for one person to bear. There are always going to be people that say they understand or try and give advise when they have not walked in your shoes.

Here are a few scriptures that are helping me to keep waiting. I hope you do not mind but I would like to share them with you. If that is OK with you?

Psalm 40:1 (New International Version)
1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
he turned to me and heard my cry.

1 Thessalonians 5 (Contemporary English Version)
16 Always be joyful 17 and never stop praying. 18 Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you to do.

Scripture it seems is the only thing we have to hold onto when those around us do not understand; nor do they seem to care. But I do, if that helps. I am willing to listen and pray for you, if you will do me a favor and pray for me too. How does that sound? I am willing if you are also willing to pray for one another.

Dear Lord, I pray that you hear our prayers and answer them according to OUR needs, according to YOUR WILL. In Jesus Name
