Waiting for Answers to Prayers

With the Lord, one day is as a thousand years

and a thousand years as one day.

2 Peter 3:8

 Waiting for answers to our prayers can feel like a test of faith and patience. Yet, it is easier to be patient when we learn to look at it differently. The key is knowing in our hearts that He will answer our prayers in the very best way and at the ideal time. (December 9, 2020)
