“…the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by his letting us have our way in the end, but by his making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly pray what he taught his disciples to pray: Thy will be done.”
Elisabeth Elliot
Have you ever noticed this to be true? I have learned not to expect God to give me what I want as if He were a genie in a bottle. He is so much more than that. He created us. He knows what we need and when we need it.
It’s in the waiting that we learn. It’s in the being told “no” that we begin to grow spiritually. We learn to trust in His will and know it will be best for us. Only then can we pray that His will be done.
