“Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.” – Psalm 65:1-2

“Push, push, push!” doesn’t have a place in prayer. Quiet waiting works better.

You asked what Moses did on the mountain for a week when he came to meet with Me, or Elijah by the brook as the water dried up, or Jesus all night in prayer? They just waited for Me. I don’t come on cue. I call to prayer. The whole world waits for Me and My timing is always right.

Hurried Hearing?

“You can hurry speaking, but not hearing”

Ken Wilson, pastor and author of the book, Mystically Wired wrote those words in the context of hearing God through nature, but I sense a broader application.

Listening to God, anywhere, can’t be rushed.

We can pray fast, but hearing him may take some time, patience, and a willingness to hear at his pace. Holy Scripture puts it this way,

“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. – Lamentations 3:25-26

The Right Kind of Waiting

But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint. – Isaiah 40:31

God calls us to serve for our benefit, not his.

Our waiting is not like a sleeper waiting for an alarm but attentive, like a good waiter caring for his patrons.

This is the kind of waiting that sustains us through weary and faint hearted times.
