Patient in Prayer
Susie selected a pretty purple stapler online, and soon a package arrived displaying the name of a store her family frequently orders from. But inside the box she found toothpaste, dental floss, and disappointment. Days later another package showed up; the contents even rattled as if a pack of staples might be hiding inside. She withdrew a bottle of multivitamins instead. More time passed. She reached into a third box and unearthed a bunch of batteries. But after weeks of waiting, Susie delighted in the fact that her pretty purple stapler finally arrived.

Have you been praying for something that has yet to materialize? Unless the Lord has clearly given you a no for an answer, continue to be patient in prayer.
