Prodigal: This work is taking forever!

Me: Be Patient and the Lord is with you.

This is from the book Praying Through Life’s Problems featuring Stormie Omartian

Pray that you will not get discouraged. Discouragement can descend on you like a flood. You think you are standing strong and all of a sudden, in a weary moment, you get washed away be discouragement that threatens to drown you. Even though it may seem like forever as you wait for your difficult time to end, and you feel like you don’t have the strength to withstand anything any longer, tell yourself that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13). Declare that you will “rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him” (Psalm 37:7). Keep in mind that God has been known to do a quick work for which He has been preparing a long time. It could be today.

O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever. Psalms 74:19 (KJV)
