Wait.

I'm pretty sure this song was meant for me.

Everlasting God-Chris Tomlin
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord (repeat)

Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer

You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint You won't grow weary

You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

How hard is it when God tells us to wait? It's almost like a 4-letter word to Christians.
But sometimes, God asks us to wait. and that's what we should do. We grow, we learn, and we pray. And when the promise is fulfilled, it's that much sweeter, because we know what we went through while we were waiting.
3More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)
