A Time to Wait, I Do Not Want To

I prayed. I fasted for three days on liquids only. I told God I was ready to hear from Him loud and clear. And all I got back was crickets, and the unmistakable feeling of being Vizzini from "The Princess Bride," standing there saying "I am waiting" while life moved on without me. Then a Bible verse on waiting showed up. Then a video quoting a different verse on waiting showed up. Then a book chapter on waiting showed up. At some point you have to take a hint. In this episode we get honest about the irony of writing an entire article on prayer and waiting and then immediately being asked to live it out. God can move mountains. He can rearrange entire lives and make them beautiful. All we have to do is stop meddling long enough to let Him work. If you are waiting on something today, take heart. It is probably about to become something beautiful.
