I once heard from a session that while Waiting is an integral part of living, it sometimes becomes an act the robs us from the joy of Him in our lives.
In a season of waiting for answers and prayers, He has always led me to introspect on life: To whom do my allegiances lie? To whom does my heart belong? Ultimately, the long journey of questioning and prayer leads me back to the realization God wants me all to Himself.
The desire for God is written in our hearts (CCC27). It might be disguised as other desires. In time, however, the Holy Spirit peels aways the layers and exposes what we are really waiting on: the Lord.
Holy Spirit, I give you permission to work in my life that way that You want.
