WAITING AND HOPING

WAITING AND HOPING!


Do you feel like-
Your WHOLE LIFE=should be
ONE of long prayer?


I DO=and even the things
That I do WRONG=I ASK GOD
To forgive and GUIDE me=
In ADJUSTING my behavior Lord


WAITING and HOPING=Lord=
Guide me=HEAL ME


“...........PRAY always without
Becoming weary” Luke 18:1


Today=we READ about the pesky
Widow=and her PERSISTENCE=in continuing
To GO to the unjust judge=
With the SAME REQUEST


What is INTERESTING is
The Lord's COMMENTARY


“And the Lord said-
'LISTEN to what
The unjust judge says


And will not God
BRING about justice
For his CHOSEN ONES


Who cry out to him
Day and night
WILL he keep
Putting them off?


I tell you
He will see that
They get JUSTICE=and quickly


However=when the SON of MAN comes
Will he FIND FAITH
On the earth?” Luke 18:6-8


So KEEP GOING to the Lord
In PRAYER=and in FAITH=
The Lord tells us=YES= that
We can find ANSWERS
In the Lord


We can find JUSTICE
By being PERSISTEN in prayer


By WAITING and HOPING in faith
BE PERSISTENT!


We must LEARN to WAIT
And to HOPE
We must persevere


The ABILITY to wait and=hope
And persevere=RISES out of
A fierce TRUST in God


“.............And let us RUN
With perseverance-
The race


MARKED out for us
Fixing our eyes
On Jesus


The pioneer-and PERFECTER of FAITH” Hebrews 12:1-2


“Consider it PURE JOY
My brothers and sisters-
Whenever you face TRIALS


Of many kinds
Because you KNOW


That the TESTING
Of your faith
Produces perseverance


Let perseverance
FINISH its work
So that you may be


MATURE and COMPLETE-
Not lacking anything” James 1:2-4


YES=my friends=I ENCOURAGE
You to be like
The PESKY WIDOW=in=
Your PRAYER REQUESTS to God


Keep ASKING for those
FAVORS needed=do NOT lose heart


Keep PERSISTING=
With FAITH=keep WAITING AND HOPING


The LORD=will NOT
Let you down


In Jesus' name and the name of HIS MOST HEAVENLY FATHER
